Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 29.1, mean 27.6 °C (based on 755 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.01098 - 0.05004), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 33.6 [15.3, 101.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.762 [0.273, 1.754] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.9, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.13 [0.06, 0.27] g/100g; Selenium = 13.5 [4.8, 48.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 38 [9, 149] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.77 [0.80, 3.15] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
