Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.3 - 27.9, mean 25.7 °C (based on 120 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00516 - 0.01539), b=3.05 (2.90 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 183 [65, 332] mg/100g; Iron = 1.22 [0.50, 2.40] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [16.8, 21.8] %; Omega3 = 0.12 [0.06, 0.24] g/100g; Selenium = 24.7 [12.3, 52.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.9 [5.9, 51.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.934 [0.602, 1.373] mg/100g (wet weight);
