Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.8 - 28, mean 24.9 °C (based on 378 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00250 - 0.01521), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.32 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 = 178 [84, 353] mg/100g; Iron = 0.838 [0.456, 1.546] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.9, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.131 [0.066, 0.257] g/100g; Selenium = 20 [8, 52] μg/100g; VitaminA = 289 [76, 1,050] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.65 [1.68, 3.96] mg/100g (wet weight);
