Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.6 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1549 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00201 - 0.01253), b=3.26 (3.04 - 3.48), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 145 [77, 241] mg/100g; Iron = 0.883 [0.519, 1.458] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.103 [0.060, 0.182] g/100g; Selenium = 31.7 [15.1, 65.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 86.3 [29.4, 249.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.88 [1.23, 2.72] mg/100g (wet weight);
