Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23 - 27.9, mean 25.6 °C (based on 322 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00278 - 0.01190), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±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 (15 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 52.6 [20.1, 107.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.616 [0.286, 1.222] mg/100g; Protein = 19.8 [18.4, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.148 [0.071, 0.278] g/100g; Selenium = 18.6 [8.0, 43.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 48.5 [11.8, 228.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.885 [0.527, 1.448] mg/100g (wet weight);
