Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.2 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 658 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00626 - 0.02776), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.2 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 = 117 [57, 284] mg/100g; Iron = 0.793 [0.397, 2.054] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.8, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.253 [0.104, 0.704] g/100g; Selenium = 22.3 [10.5, 54.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 198 [64, 574] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.75 [1.16, 2.57] mg/100g (wet weight);
