Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 28.9, mean 27.6 °C (based on 608 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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 = 178 [79, 363] mg/100g; Iron = 0.901 [0.444, 1.767] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.8, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.0998 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 27.2 [12.0, 64.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 127 [33, 463] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.38 [1.51, 3.58] mg/100g (wet weight);
