Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.9 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1984 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00468 - 0.02039), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 99 [58, 171] mg/100g; Iron = 0.754 [0.422, 1.428] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [15.6, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.142 [0.087, 0.230] g/100g; Selenium = 18.5 [10.6, 34.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 150 [45, 560] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.84 [1.24, 2.92] mg/100g (wet weight);
