Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.3 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 556 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00179 - 0.01169), b=3.10 (2.87 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert 4,5 - 14 Jahre. (Assuming Fec < 100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 174 [93, 333] mg/100g; Iron = 1.02 [0.58, 1.78] mg/100g; Protein = 16.7 [14.2, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.126 [0.068, 0.228] g/100g; Selenium = 32.8 [15.8, 77.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 109 [31, 375] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.51 [1.66, 3.61] mg/100g (wet weight);
