Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.1 °C (based on 160 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01232 - 0.05364), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 59.8 [25.5, 147.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.684 [0.337, 1.543] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.113 [0.057, 0.221] g/100g; Selenium = 27.3 [14.0, 57.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 62.8 [18.2, 220.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.23 [0.82, 1.82] mg/100g (wet weight);
