Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.5 - 28, mean 26.5 °C (based on 210 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02630 (0.01510 - 0.04582), b=3.08 (2.93 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 64 [25, 192] mg/100g; Iron = 0.981 [0.439, 2.537] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.9, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.168 [0.070, 0.362] g/100g; Selenium = 15.5 [5.9, 41.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 38.4 [7.8, 191.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.4 [0.8, 2.5] mg/100g (wet weight);
