Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.5 - 27.2, mean 24.7 °C (based on 105 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00091 (0.00039 - 0.00215), b=2.99 (2.79 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 21 [11, 34] mg/100g; Iron = 0.408 [0.244, 0.887] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.6, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.0979 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 64.2 [35.6, 124.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 33.6 [10.0, 102.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.775 [0.554, 1.093] mg/100g (wet weight);
