Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1204 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00277 - 0.01091), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 156 [55, 312] mg/100g; Iron = 0.866 [0.377, 1.936] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.0, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.101 [0.042, 0.295] g/100g; Selenium = 20.6 [9.1, 48.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 124 [29, 530] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.14 [1.33, 3.44] mg/100g (wet weight);
