Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.3 - 28.9, mean 26 °C (based on 92 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00051 (0.00032 - 0.00082), b=3.27 (3.14 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.62 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): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 89.5 [55.5, 157.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.879 [0.522, 1.437] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.8, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.192 [0.084, 0.501] g/100g; Selenium = 75.6 [40.0, 157.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18 [5, 55] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.914 [0.687, 1.268] mg/100g (wet weight);
