Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.6 - 26.1, mean 24.3 °C (based on 20 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02138 (0.01072 - 0.04265), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.34 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 7.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (K=0.15).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (56 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 67.9 [32.0, 119.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.985 [0.542, 2.016] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.9, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.239 [0.143, 0.404] g/100g; Selenium = 27.3 [12.3, 57.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.59 [1.56, 25.12] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.687 [0.458, 1.014] mg/100g (wet weight);
