Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.6 - 28.4, mean 27.2 °C (based on 887 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01834 - 0.02862), b=2.90 (2.84 - 2.96), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.54 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.68).

Prior r = 1.19, 95% CL = 0.79 - 1.79, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 36.4 [16.1, 83.5] mg/100g; Iron = 1.49 [0.64, 3.43] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [17.0, 21.9] %; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.070, 0.285] g/100g; Selenium = 14.6 [6.1, 40.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.8 [5.3, 216.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.546 [0.280, 1.229] mg/100g (wet weight);
