Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.8 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1822 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00050 (0.00025 - 0.00101), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.60 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 (50 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 34.5 [19.1, 61.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.462 [0.276, 0.837] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.6, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.104 [0.047, 0.282] g/100g; Selenium = 35.4 [19.4, 68.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 60.3 [17.3, 199.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.25 [0.89, 1.73] mg/100g (wet weight);
