Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.5 - 29.2, mean 27 °C (based on 236 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.01103 - 0.04981), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (86 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 50.8 [21.1, 141.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.699 [0.269, 1.686] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.8, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.1 [0.0, 0.2] g/100g; Selenium = 20 [7, 57] μg/100g; VitaminA = 37.3 [8.5, 152.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.64 [0.84, 4.83] mg/100g (wet weight);
