Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.8 - 26.7, mean 22.5 °C (based on 24 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00413 - 0.01752), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.70 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.3; tm=7; tmax=15).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (94 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 25.1 [13.8, 50.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.624 [0.304, 1.125] mg/100g; Protein = 19.9 [18.8, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.305 [0.168, 0.523] g/100g; Selenium = 42.1 [22.0, 85.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.63 [2.09, 23.22] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.526 [0.362, 0.795] mg/100g (wet weight);
