Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.2 - 27.9, mean 25.7 °C (based on 94 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00132 (0.00056 - 0.00309), b=2.93 (2.73 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.59 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 36.9 [21.5, 71.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.816 [0.459, 1.350] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.7, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.11, 0.62] g/100g; Selenium = 48.9 [26.5, 98.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 4.77 [1.40, 16.03] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.5 [0.4, 0.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
