Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.6 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 530 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00680 - 0.04650), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.0   ±0.65 se; based on food items. 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 = 86.1 [46.0, 180.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.676 [0.349, 1.314] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.2, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.133 [0.075, 0.229] g/100g; Selenium = 23.2 [12.2, 48.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 101 [26, 450] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.31 [0.82, 2.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
