Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.2 - 28.5, mean 27.6 °C (based on 21 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±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 = 182 [94, 432] mg/100g; Iron = 0.979 [0.452, 1.954] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.9, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.127 [0.063, 0.261] g/100g; Selenium = 30.8 [11.8, 76.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 146 [38, 584] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.21 [1.29, 3.54] mg/100g (wet weight);
