Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.8 - 28.1, mean 27.3 °C (based on 744 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 55 [31, 102] mg/100g; Iron = 0.591 [0.362, 1.155] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.5, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.116 [0.053, 0.336] g/100g; Selenium = 37.9 [21.4, 76.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 61.1 [17.8, 184.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.09 [0.78, 1.52] mg/100g (wet weight);
