Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 28.2, mean 27.2 °C (based on 138 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00702 - 0.03115), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
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 = 65.2 [21.1, 122.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.686 [0.359, 1.217] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.3, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.167 [0.087, 0.269] g/100g; Selenium = 31.9 [19.1, 54.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 107 [43, 261] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.39 [0.95, 2.08] mg/100g (wet weight);
