Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17 - 27.1, mean 24.1 °C (based on 172 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00425 - 0.00679), b=3.18 (3.11 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.59 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 4.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.28).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 98.1 [51.9, 192.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.2 [0.7, 2.1] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.7 [16.7, 18.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.304 [0.182, 0.503] g/100g ; Selenium = 32.1 [16.4, 69.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 22.8 [7.7, 66.8] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.728 [0.511, 1.037] mg/100g (wet weight);
