Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 29.2, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1572 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7502   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00106 - 0.00750), b=3.10 (2.86 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 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):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 65.5 [36.3, 119.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.581 [0.339, 0.990] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.0, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.0978 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 23.4 [12.4, 48.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 90.8 [31.3, 254.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.71 [1.19, 2.35] mg/100g (wet weight);
