Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.6 - 29, mean 28.3 °C (based on 758 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00847 - 0.02147), b=3.02 (2.89 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.2   ±0.74 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High vulnerability (58 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 46.2 [26.4, 79.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.541 [0.310, 0.998] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.161 [0.104, 0.249] g/100g; Selenium = 34.1 [19.4, 56.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 172 [62, 542] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.797 [0.580, 1.275] mg/100g (wet weight);
