Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 21.7 - 27.6, mean 25.5 °C (based on 100 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00733 - 0.02265), b=2.99 (2.85 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.4   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Very high vulnerability (83 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 10.6 [5.5, 17.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.27 [0.16, 0.49] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [18.1, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.179 [0.101, 0.309] g/100g; Selenium = 33 [16, 63] μg/100g; VitaminA = 76.1 [12.6, 374.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.225 [0.158, 0.353] mg/100g (wet weight);
