Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 27.8, mean 27 °C (based on 185 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 452 [229, 865] mg/100g; Iron = 1.71 [0.94, 2.95] mg/100g; Protein = 16.1 [13.5, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.194 [0.096, 0.370] g/100g; Selenium = 39.1 [18.6, 90.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.6 [11.4, 93.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.91 [1.33, 2.72] mg/100g (wet weight);
