Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27.4 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1315 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 712 [348, 1,799] mg/100g; Iron = 2.61 [1.44, 4.63] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.9, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.291 [0.137, 0.605] g/100g; Selenium = 47.1 [20.3, 103.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 29.2 [9.6, 88.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.07 [1.96, 4.67] mg/100g (wet weight);
