Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1606 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

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 = 90.9 [54.2, 155.8] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.73 [0.42, 1.36] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.5 [15.7, 20.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.147 [0.093, 0.234] g/100g ; Selenium = 20.2 [11.8, 37.3] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 148 [46, 547] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.75 [1.20, 2.77] mg/100g (wet weight);
