Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.7 - 28.4, mean 28 °C (based on 25 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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 = 114 [62, 230] mg/100g; Iron = 0.897 [0.488, 1.599] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.0, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.167 [0.098, 0.283] g/100g; Selenium = 23.1 [12.8, 46.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 240 [80, 798] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.78 [1.17, 2.64] mg/100g (wet weight);
