Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.1 - 28.5, mean 25.8 °C (based on 38 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00422 - 0.02368), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 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): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 28.3 [15.2, 50.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.591 [0.373, 0.989] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.0, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.0505 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 25.3 [13.3, 46.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 37.6 [9.3, 148.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.92 [1.36, 2.65] mg/100g (wet weight);
