Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.2 - 29, mean 27.9 °C (based on 442 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00246 - 0.01120), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 71.9 [35.8, 203.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.699 [0.312, 1.569] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.8, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.146 [0.064, 0.418] g/100g; Selenium = 34.4 [16.2, 92.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 96.2 [33.9, 258.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.27 [0.83, 1.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
