Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.3 - 28.3, mean 25.2 °C (based on 67 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01385 - 0.04770), b=3.04 (2.88 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
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 = 125 [64, 192] mg/100g; Iron = 0.945 [0.560, 1.591] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.3, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.127 [0.074, 0.215] g/100g; Selenium = 39.7 [21.1, 75.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45.4 [12.5, 162.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.67 [1.13, 2.44] mg/100g (wet weight);
