Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 29.3, mean 28.1 °C (based on 1750 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 329 [151, 866] mg/100g; Iron = 1.66 [0.73, 3.29] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.0, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.111 [0.043, 0.302] g/100g; Selenium = 48.7 [14.8, 143.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 59.9 [13.1, 256.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.43 [1.85, 5.73] mg/100g (wet weight);
