Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.8 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1602 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00690 - 0.03171), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 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 = 184 [90, 322] mg/100g; Iron = 1.11 [0.63, 2.00] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.3, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.136 [0.070, 0.258] g/100g; Selenium = 31.8 [14.6, 65.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 63.2 [17.4, 233.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.98 [1.25, 3.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
