Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.1 - 27.5, mean 23 °C (based on 1102 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5352   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00112 - 0.00620), b=3.17 (2.96 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 77.4 [43.7, 128.9] mg/100g; Iron = 1.41 [0.88, 2.24] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.8, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.201 [0.111, 0.358] g/100g; Selenium = 28.8 [15.3, 56.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.4 [3.5, 32.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.79 [0.57, 1.10] mg/100g (wet weight);
