Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.7 - 29.5, mean 29 °C (based on 602 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):  2.7   ±0.24 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 = 153 [79, 321] mg/100g; Iron = 0.919 [0.468, 1.720] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.3, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.062, 0.251] g/100g; Selenium = 19.4 [10.2, 39.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 140 [37, 479] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.44 [1.60, 3.64] mg/100g (wet weight);
