Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.5 - 29.2, mean 28.1 °C (based on 2296 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (19 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 19.2 [7.9, 34.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.207 [0.112, 0.441] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [15.9, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.367 [0.198, 0.695] g/100g; Selenium = 5.97 [2.75, 13.34] μg/100g; VitaminA = 77.1 [19.5, 368.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.691 [0.452, 1.241] mg/100g (wet weight);
