Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.3 - 29.1, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1098 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00280 - 0.01185), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 157 [83, 299] mg/100g; Iron = 1.01 [0.52, 1.81] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.1, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.149 [0.073, 0.273] g/100g; Selenium = 67.1 [33.2, 131.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.4 [6.2, 63.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.79, 1.61] mg/100g (wet weight);
