Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 16.7 - 24.7, mean 24 °C (based on 28 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.01117 - 0.04486), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.25 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 28.6 [11.9, 51.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.269 [0.140, 0.504] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.3, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.334 [0.170, 0.679] g/100g; Selenium = 9.4 [4.0, 22.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 33.4 [6.8, 158.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.694 [0.427, 1.110] mg/100g (wet weight);
