Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25 - 28.8, mean 27.4 °C (based on 600 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.01117 - 0.04486), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.37 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 (11 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 88.4 [45.9, 145.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.73 [0.43, 1.22] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.0, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.114 [0.068, 0.192] g/100g; Selenium = 23.4 [12.2, 45.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50.1 [14.6, 170.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.51 [1.01, 2.19] mg/100g (wet weight);
