Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25 - 29.1, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1220 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00132 (0.00056 - 0.00309), b=2.93 (2.73 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.0   ±0.66 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 89.6 [55.9, 148.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.863 [0.557, 1.327] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.1, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.206 [0.093, 0.543] g/100g; Selenium = 72.7 [40.5, 137.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.5 [5.6, 39.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.04 [0.79, 1.40] mg/100g (wet weight);
