Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.3 - 27.5, mean 24.3 °C (based on 228 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5313 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.00929 - 0.05398), b=2.93 (2.73 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 37.6 [16.4, 86.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.654 [0.347, 1.179] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.4, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.21 [0.12, 0.39] g/100g; Selenium = 22.3 [10.2, 45.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 26.2 [6.4, 111.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.658 [0.410, 1.015] mg/100g (wet weight);
