Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.2 - 28, mean 27.4 °C (based on 174 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00320 - 0.01497), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±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 = 760 [372, 2,186] mg/100g ; Iron = 2.1 [1.1, 4.3] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.3 [15.3, 19.0] % ; Omega3 = 0.163 [0.057, 0.402] g/100g ; Selenium = 32.9 [13.3, 88.2] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 32.1 [9.7, 95.9] μg/100g ; Zinc = 3.61 [2.28, 5.55] mg/100g (wet weight);
