Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.9 - 29, mean 28.1 °C (based on 438 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±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 = 184 [81, 378] mg/100g; Iron = 0.923 [0.449, 1.819] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.101 [0.043, 0.201] g/100g; Selenium = 27.2 [12.0, 64.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 124 [32, 452] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.37 [1.50, 3.57] mg/100g (wet weight);
