Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 594 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00380 - 0.01513), b=3.33 (3.15 - 3.51), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 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 = 163 [86, 282] mg/100g; Iron = 0.969 [0.554, 1.636] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.4, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.112 [0.062, 0.207] g/100g; Selenium = 37 [17, 80] μg/100g; VitaminA = 83.8 [26.8, 256.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.02 [1.31, 2.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
