Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.3 - 29.1, mean 26.9 °C (based on 255 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00050 (0.00025 - 0.00101), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.56 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 103 [63, 175] mg/100g; Iron = 0.908 [0.540, 1.494] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.169 [0.073, 0.436] g/100g; Selenium = 57.4 [31.6, 122.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.7 [5.7, 58.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.981 [0.740, 1.357] mg/100g (wet weight);
