Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.2 - 23.9, mean 20.5 °C (based on 98 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00808 - 0.01874), b=3.02 (2.89 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 27.3 [12.8, 56.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.49 [0.25, 0.89] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [17, 21] %; Omega3 = 0.0929 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 33.1 [18.2, 60.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 49 [15, 157] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.891 [0.581, 1.362] mg/100g (wet weight);
