Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.9 - 28.3, mean 26.8 °C (based on 847 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02138 (0.01571 - 0.02910), b=2.90 (2.82 - 2.98), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 1.6 (1.2 - 1.8) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 12 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.6-1.23).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 53.2 [33.9, 86.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.65 [0.42, 1.03] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [18.3, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.176 [0.124, 0.251] g/100g; Selenium = 45.4 [28.3, 74.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 61.3 [25.2, 151.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.08 [0.80, 1.46] mg/100g (wet weight);
