Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.5 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2926 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00650 - 0.02933), b=3.03 (2.85 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 22.9 [9.1, 75.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.517 [0.201, 1.304] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.6, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0846 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 40.8 [13.5, 120.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.4 [11.8, 126.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.86 [0.83, 3.33] mg/100g (wet weight);
