Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.5 - 25.2, mean 24.7 °C (based on 20 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7656 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.01037 - 0.06084), b=2.99 (2.78 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 129 [67, 230] mg/100g; Iron = 1.44 [0.85, 2.55] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.314 [0.169, 0.576] g/100g; Selenium = 16.2 [7.5, 33.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.6 [3.4, 40.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.23 [0.84, 1.84] mg/100g (wet weight);
