Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.6 - 28.9, mean 27.5 °C (based on 920 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 167 [96, 289] mg/100g; Iron = 1.12 [0.67, 1.76] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [14.1, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.203 [0.109, 0.371] g/100g; Selenium = 67 [35, 137] μg/100g; VitaminA = 24.9 [8.9, 64.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.2 [0.9, 1.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
