Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 28.9, mean 28.3 °C (based on 665 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00509 - 0.02362), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±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 = 107 [68, 176] mg/100g; Iron = 0.87 [0.55, 1.36] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.1, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.162 [0.107, 0.243] g/100g; Selenium = 28 [16, 48] μg/100g; VitaminA = 90 [35, 235] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.69 [1.18, 2.32] mg/100g (wet weight);
