Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 2694 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 346 [142, 870] mg/100g; Iron = 1.36 [0.60, 2.96] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.6, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.112 [0.042, 0.280] g/100g; Selenium = 32.4 [11.1, 89.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 128 [28, 557] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.59 [2.08, 5.80] mg/100g (wet weight);
