Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.8 - 28.2, mean 27.2 °C (based on 459 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00362 - 0.01742), b=2.81 (2.63 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.37 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 = 166 [67, 381] mg/100g; Iron = 1.18 [0.56, 2.34] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.168 [0.074, 0.383] g/100g; Selenium = 13.6 [4.5, 35.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 72.6 [17.9, 315.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.91 [1.04, 3.19] mg/100g (wet weight);
