Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 28, mean 27 °C (based on 260 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00087 (0.00051 - 0.00148), b=2.79 (2.64 - 2.94), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 67 [43, 110] mg/100g; Iron = 0.828 [0.528, 1.274] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.1, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.178 [0.078, 0.469] g/100g; Selenium = 92.5 [52.5, 166.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.07 [3.35, 21.78] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.963 [0.731, 1.309] mg/100g (wet weight);
