Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.5 - 27, mean 25.4 °C (based on 144 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 109 [65, 198] mg/100g; Iron = 0.821 [0.468, 1.543] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [15.6, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.185 [0.111, 0.303] g/100g; Selenium = 25.4 [14.0, 47.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 164 [49, 643] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.85 [1.23, 2.88] mg/100g (wet weight);
