Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.2, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1412 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01726 - 0.05531), b=2.88 (2.72 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.51 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 (60 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 30.6 [14.2, 62.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.671 [0.378, 1.336] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [18.0, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.108 [0.064, 0.194] g/100g; Selenium = 54 [27, 109] μg/100g; VitaminA = 41.3 [11.6, 145.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.68 [0.45, 0.99] mg/100g (wet weight);
