Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 366 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00551 - 0.03009), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±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 = 417 [234, 847] mg/100g; Iron = 1.89 [1.00, 3.31] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [16.7, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.225 [0.117, 0.427] g/100g; Selenium = 49.5 [23.6, 105.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.8 [5.7, 57.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.72 [1.14, 2.56] mg/100g (wet weight);
