Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22.6 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1757 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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 = 282 [133, 738] mg/100g; Iron = 1.4 [0.7, 2.8] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.3, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.17 [0.06, 0.39] g/100g; Selenium = 27.3 [10.6, 63.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 120 [30, 466] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.27 [1.97, 5.12] mg/100g (wet weight);
