Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1757 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00201 - 0.01253), b=3.26 (3.04 - 3.48), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 425 [172, 1,447] mg/100g; Iron = 2.08 [0.78, 4.47] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.7, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.0988 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 50.7 [11.5, 187.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 51 [9, 298] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.66 [2.19, 8.39] mg/100g (wet weight);
