Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.1 - 25.5, mean 24.2 °C (based on 50 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5044   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00290 - 0.01092), b=3.18 (3.02 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.7 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 to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 74.2 [31.1, 158.2] mg/100g; Iron = 1.03 [0.57, 1.86] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.3, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.341 [0.174, 0.642] g/100g; Selenium = 24.1 [12.9, 51.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.3 [4.3, 45.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.668 [0.469, 0.959] mg/100g (wet weight);
