Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.1 °C (based on 2438 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00458 - 0.01378), b=3.02 (2.87 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.54 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 85 [51, 142] mg/100g; Iron = 0.715 [0.418, 1.323] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [15.6, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.151 [0.098, 0.234] g/100g; Selenium = 22.9 [13.8, 41.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 141 [44, 516] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.73 [1.20, 2.72] mg/100g (wet weight);
