Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.8 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 510 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00551 - 0.03009), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 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 = 174 [85, 307] mg/100g; Iron = 1.12 [0.62, 2.04] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.3, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.134 [0.069, 0.261] g/100g; Selenium = 35.7 [16.2, 74.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 54.5 [14.7, 205.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.96 [1.23, 3.00] mg/100g (wet weight);
