Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 18.1 - 26.5, mean 20.9 °C (based on 30 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00464 - 0.01422), b=3.18 (3.03 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100) .

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): (0 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 151 [74, 321] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.903 [0.537, 1.640] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.1 [14.9, 19.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.194 [0.095, 0.374] g/100g ; Selenium = 60.7 [27.4, 137.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 23 [6, 89] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.759 [0.492, 1.161] mg/100g (wet weight);
