Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 26.1 - 28.6, mean 27.5 °C (based on 248 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00177 - 0.01127), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 88.7 [51.1, 161.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.756 [0.458, 1.358] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.119 [0.071, 0.207] g/100g; Selenium = 39.9 [21.4, 83.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 69.9 [23.5, 192.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.46 [1.02, 2.03] mg/100g (wet weight);
