Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.3 - 21.2, mean 20.6 °C (based on 16 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 101 [47, 189] mg/100g; Iron = 1.23 [0.66, 2.21] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.165 [0.083, 0.328] g/100g; Selenium = 17.9 [7.8, 42.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.6 [2.5, 50.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.28 [0.87, 1.91] mg/100g (wet weight);
