Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.1, mean 28.1 °C (based on 1326 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00733 - 0.03589), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.6 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):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 33.6 [21.5, 71.2] mg/100g; Iron = 1.21 [0.56, 2.39] mg/100g; Protein = 20.3 [17.7, 22.4] %; Omega3 = 0.19 [0.11, 0.34] g/100g; Selenium = 10.1 [4.9, 20.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 60.1 [10.7, 358.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.664 [0.363, 1.469] mg/100g (wet weight);
