Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.2 - 28.5, mean 27.1 °C (based on 1110 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01698 (0.00771 - 0.03741), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 31.2 [20.2, 64.5] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.2 [0.6, 2.3] mg/100g ; Protein = 20.1 [17.5, 22.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.192 [0.115, 0.342] g/100g ; Selenium = 12.2 [5.9, 24.9] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 54.1 [10.0, 308.3] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.684 [0.379, 1.517] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
