Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.3 - 28.8, mean 25.9 °C (based on 74 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00521 - 0.02309), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 70 [40, 129] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.659 [0.355, 1.097] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.6, 20.1] % ; Omega3 = 0.174 [0.112, 0.269] g/100g ; Selenium = 28.6 [16.9, 50.9] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 130 [44, 417] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.39 [0.95, 1.96] mg/100g (wet weight);
