Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.2 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2249 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):  3.1   ±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 = 1400 [600, 5,893] mg/100g; Iron = 3.26 [1.37, 8.30] mg/100g; Protein = 16.8 [14.7, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.151 [0.041, 0.520] g/100g; Selenium = 46.7 [11.7, 158.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31.3 [5.5, 172.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 5.37 [2.83, 9.53] mg/100g (wet weight);
