Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.1 - 28.1, mean 27.5 °C (based on 114 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00680 - 0.04650), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±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).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 81.9 [45.4, 164.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.677 [0.363, 1.284] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.080, 0.230] g/100g; Selenium = 27.4 [15.0, 55.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 93 [24, 407] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.33 [0.85, 2.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
