Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 28.7, mean 27.6 °C (based on 268 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00439 - 0.03002), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 117 [70, 192] mg/100g; Iron = 0.837 [0.541, 1.289] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.8, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.174 [0.111, 0.263] g/100g; Selenium = 25 [15, 44] μg/100g; VitaminA = 141 [52, 373] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.9 [1.3, 2.6] mg/100g (wet weight);
