Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 28.9, mean 27.6 °C (based on 242 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00683 - 0.03057), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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 (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 62 [38, 127] mg/100g; Iron = 0.674 [0.330, 1.642] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.2, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.152 [0.092, 0.255] g/100g; Selenium = 27.3 [16.1, 49.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 80.8 [23.1, 232.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.28 [0.88, 1.85] mg/100g (wet weight);
