Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.6 - 27.7, mean 24.9 °C (based on 214 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00196 - 0.01224), b=3.12 (2.90 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 149 [79, 335] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.869 [0.418, 1.669] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.9 [16.0, 19.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.125 [0.066, 0.247] g/100g ; Selenium = 30.1 [12.3, 69.8] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 148 [40, 580] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.93 [1.16, 3.04] mg/100g (wet weight);
