Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.4 - 28.1, mean 26.9 °C (based on 190 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±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 = 59.3 [24.5, 124.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.655 [0.296, 1.325] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.7, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.139 [0.058, 0.278] g/100g; Selenium = 14.4 [6.1, 33.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 63.3 [15.0, 247.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.12 [0.67, 1.82] mg/100g (wet weight);
