Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.3 - 28.2, mean 27.5 °C (based on 645 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00399 - 0.02083), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 75.4 [33.0, 164.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.804 [0.436, 1.431] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [18.3, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.263 [0.143, 0.481] g/100g; Selenium = 10.5 [4.3, 22.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 124 [37, 429] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.45 [0.88, 2.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
