Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27.1 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 2051 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 140 [71, 226] mg/100g; Iron = 0.918 [0.530, 1.573] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.121 [0.069, 0.206] g/100g; Selenium = 24.8 [12.8, 48.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 68.8 [20.7, 230.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.68 [1.10, 2.49] mg/100g (wet weight);
