Bi-directional sex change has been proposed for this species though histological analysis of more specimens is needed for confirmation (Ref. 103751).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 27.9, mean 26.6 °C (based on 72 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00439 - 0.03002), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 87 [53, 142] mg/100g; Iron = 0.697 [0.447, 1.099] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.1, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.152 [0.100, 0.226] g/100g; Selenium = 21.1 [12.6, 36.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 137 [52, 358] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [1.12, 2.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
