Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 28.8, mean 27.6 °C (based on 542 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5003   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (84 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 26.8 [13.8, 41.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.459 [0.273, 0.926] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.3, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.0862 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 53.7 [29.1, 107.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 35.4 [9.5, 118.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.993 [0.702, 1.390] mg/100g (wet weight);
