Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.2 - 28.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 884 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00528 - 0.02384), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.6 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 = 92.7 [58.1, 154.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.825 [0.534, 1.290] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.1, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.188 [0.123, 0.282] g/100g; Selenium = 37 [21, 65] μg/100g; VitaminA = 87.4 [33.3, 228.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.52 [1.08, 2.07] mg/100g (wet weight);
