Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.9 - 29, mean 28.1 °C (based on 392 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 826 [402, 2,397] mg/100g; Iron = 2.21 [1.13, 4.78] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [15.0, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.062, 0.428] g/100g; Selenium = 41.7 [16.3, 109.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 38.1 [9.8, 152.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.24 [2.02, 5.21] mg/100g (wet weight);
