Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.6 - 28.2, mean 27.5 °C (based on 516 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00197 - 0.01219), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 146 [72, 247] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.751 [0.407, 1.304] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [17.3, 19.5] % ; Omega3 = 0.0884 [, ] g/100g ; Selenium = 17.1 [7.0, 39.9] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 185 [56, 610] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.16 [1.37, 3.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
