Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.2 - 28, mean 27.1 °C (based on 260 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00626 - 0.02776), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 60.9 [23.6, 182.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.72 [0.35, 1.81] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.4, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.399 [0.164, 1.137] g/100g; Selenium = 12 [5, 31] μg/100g; VitaminA = 118 [36, 402] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.68, 1.75] mg/100g (wet weight);
