Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.1, mean 27.7 °C (based on 368 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.01118 - 0.04914), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 61.2 [25.6, 175.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.758 [0.290, 1.831] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.9, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.103 [0.048, 0.218] g/100g; Selenium = 18.1 [6.3, 53.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 40.8 [9.3, 162.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.84 [0.90, 5.24] mg/100g (wet weight);
