Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.6 - 27.8, mean 26 °C (based on 4 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00556 - 0.02601), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 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 = 53.4 [25.2, 125.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.367 [0.183, 0.825] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [14.4, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.15 [0.08, 0.28] g/100g; Selenium = 50.3 [22.7, 133.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 275 [53, 1,195] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.649 [0.377, 1.238] mg/100g (wet weight);
