Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2415 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00223 - 0.01355), b=3.27 (3.06 - 3.48), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 174 [73, 443] mg/100g; Iron = 1.4 [0.6, 2.9] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.7, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.168 [0.066, 0.431] g/100g; Selenium = 19.9 [5.8, 56.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 43.1 [9.1, 211.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2 [1, 3] mg/100g (wet weight);
