Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 28.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 222 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.0 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 = 68.9 [40.7, 128.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.744 [0.412, 1.252] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.2, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.158 [0.101, 0.248] g/100g; Selenium = 28.4 [16.9, 54.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 179 [62, 575] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.38 [0.94, 1.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
