Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.2, mean 28.1 °C (based on 834 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01359 - 0.07026), b=2.89 (2.70 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 30 [13, 52] mg/100g; Iron = 0.527 [0.304, 0.924] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.7, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.14 [0.08, 0.24] g/100g; Selenium = 15 [7, 32] μg/100g; VitaminA = 38.8 [8.9, 157.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.901 [0.583, 1.381] mg/100g (wet weight);
