Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.2 - 26.6, mean 25.7 °C (based on 17 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00050 (0.00025 - 0.00101), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref. 120179):  Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 24.3 [13.0, 41.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.406 [0.241, 0.895] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.5, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.1 [0.0, 0.3] g/100g; Selenium = 50.3 [27.4, 97.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.8 [15.5, 168.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.865 [0.612, 1.197] mg/100g (wet weight);
