Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.2 - 29.4, mean 28.9 °C (based on 744 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), 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 = 656 [236, 3,125] mg/100g; Iron = 2.5 [0.8, 6.7] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.0, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.107 [0.022, 0.514] g/100g; Selenium = 54.6 [9.2, 253.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 80.6 [9.0, 653.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 7.56 [3.24, 14.78] mg/100g (wet weight);
