Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 28.8, mean 27.4 °C (based on 338 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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 = 381 [165, 1,302] mg/100g; Iron = 1.9 [0.8, 4.2] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [15.9, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.054, 0.542] g/100g; Selenium = 39.4 [11.6, 111.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 92.8 [17.8, 469.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.64 [2.46, 7.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
