Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.3 - 28, mean 26.6 °C (based on 314 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00514 - 0.02340), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 125 [64, 270] mg/100g; Iron = 1.03 [0.55, 1.93] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.7, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.214 [0.115, 0.396] g/100g; Selenium = 42.5 [20.3, 93.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 191 [61, 719] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.97 [1.25, 2.94] mg/100g (wet weight);
