Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 28.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 366 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00069 (0.00033 - 0.00144), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), 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
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 51.1 [28.6, 99.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.532 [0.324, 1.066] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.4, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.126 [0.057, 0.362] g/100g; Selenium = 35.5 [19.6, 71.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 91.9 [27.9, 276.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.1 [0.8, 1.5] mg/100g (wet weight);
