Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 22.8 - 28.7, mean 26.1 °C (based on 168 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.01037 - 0.01528), b=2.96 (2.92 - 3.00), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.9   ±0.49 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.4-0.8). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 425 [97, 827] mg/100g; Iron = 1.2 [0.4, 3.4] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.4, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.283 [0.140, 0.611] g/100g; Selenium = 41.8 [17.2, 118.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.74 [2.26, 53.89] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.768 [0.447, 2.573] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
