Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.4 - 26.6, mean 25.3 °C (based on 168 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00724 - 0.02632), b=3.13 (2.97 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-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 = 38 [15, 70] mg/100g; Iron = 0.286 [0.143, 0.558] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.284 [0.134, 0.608] g/100g; Selenium = 5.18 [2.13, 13.52] μg/100g; VitaminA = 41.7 [8.5, 191.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.71 [0.42, 1.17] mg/100g (wet weight);
