Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.8 - 25.3, mean 20.7 °C (based on 37 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00408 - 0.02036), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 192 [87, 357] mg/100g; Iron = 1.05 [0.50, 1.91] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.9, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.17 [0.08, 0.35] g/100g; Selenium = 60.8 [28.4, 133.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 24.3 [6.6, 89.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.09 [0.71, 1.63] mg/100g (wet weight);
