Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 21.5 - 28.8, mean 27.7 °C (based on 528 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00246 - 0.01120), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.4   ±0.7 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 222 [25, 1,177] mg/100g; Iron = 2.22 [0.59, 6.27] mg/100g; Protein = 17.1 [14.7, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.10, 0.72] g/100g; Selenium = 116 [27, 511] μg/100g; VitaminA = 33.6 [12.1, 93.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.08 [0.47, 2.35] mg/100g (wet weight);
