Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.8 - 27.6, mean 27.2 °C (based on 176 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [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):  3.4   ±0.51 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 558 [320, 1,237] mg/100g; Iron = 1.73 [0.98, 3.01] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [16.6, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.161 [0.078, 0.325] g/100g; Selenium = 28.8 [12.7, 65.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.2 [15.0, 143.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.41 [1.59, 3.49] mg/100g (wet weight);
