Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.6 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 264 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [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).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 78.5 [40.1, 160.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.579 [0.323, 1.111] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.9, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.14 [0.06, 0.40] g/100g; Selenium = 25.6 [10.8, 56.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 231 [54, 882] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.64 [1.07, 2.39] mg/100g (wet weight);
