Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.3 - 28, mean 26.9 °C (based on 148 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00599 - 0.02101), b=3.17 (3.01 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.66 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): High vulnerability (56 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 101 [59, 159] mg/100g; Iron = 0.986 [0.663, 1.458] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [17.3, 21.8] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.11, 0.54] g/100g; Selenium = 51.2 [28.4, 94.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11 [5, 25] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.957 [0.729, 1.295] mg/100g (wet weight);
