Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 28.5, mean 27.6 °C (based on 12 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [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).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 132 [75, 243] mg/100g; Iron = 1.17 [0.70, 1.92] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [14.9, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.188 [0.085, 0.504] g/100g; Selenium = 61.6 [31.3, 131.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 27.6 [8.3, 90.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.945 [0.679, 1.323] mg/100g (wet weight);
