Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 28.5, mean 27.4 °C (based on 923 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00690 - 0.02192), b=3.02 (2.86 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 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 = 130 [69, 276] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.982 [0.526, 1.773] mg/100g ; Protein = 18 [16, 20] % ; Omega3 = 0.157 [0.090, 0.272] g/100g ; Selenium = 21.8 [11.7, 44.4] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 217 [70, 722] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.91 [1.24, 2.86] mg/100g (wet weight);
