Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27.1 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1721 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00260 - 0.01111), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.5 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 = 290 [129, 806] mg/100g; Iron = 1.31 [0.58, 2.73] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.7, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.115 [0.050, 0.279] g/100g; Selenium = 36.4 [11.6, 102.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 105 [24, 467] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.6 [2.0, 5.9] mg/100g (wet weight);
