Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.5 - 28.6, mean 27.5 °C (based on 92 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 191 [118, 325] mg/100g; Iron = 1.09 [0.69, 1.72] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [16.9, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.161 [0.090, 0.280] g/100g; Selenium = 52.7 [27.7, 99.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 28.3 [10.4, 72.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.37 [1.01, 1.87] mg/100g (wet weight);
