Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 28.3, mean 25.2 °C (based on 67 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02630 (0.01417 - 0.04881), b=3.03 (2.87 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.2 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 125 [64, 192] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.945 [0.560, 1.591] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.5 [17.3, 19.6] % ; Omega3 = 0.127 [0.074, 0.215] g/100g ; Selenium = 39.7 [21.1, 75.8] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 45.4 [12.5, 162.1] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.67 [1.13, 2.44] mg/100g (wet weight);
