Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1144 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00802 - 0.02069), b=3.12 (2.99 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.93-1.80). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 222 [107, 739] mg/100g; Iron = 1.71 [0.65, 4.63] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [17.3, 21.7] %; Omega3 = 0.265 [0.126, 0.582] g/100g; Selenium = 45.3 [16.8, 133.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.7 [4.5, 74.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.97 [0.93, 3.69] mg/100g (wet weight);
