Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 17 - 22.8, mean 20.4 °C (based on 14 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00472 - 0.01218), b=3.11 (2.98 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.2   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  Very high vulnerability (80 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 134 [77, 299] mg/100g; Iron = 1.13 [0.57, 2.08] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.1, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.089, 0.309] g/100g; Selenium = 60 [31, 128] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14 [4, 47] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.42 [0.99, 2.12] mg/100g (wet weight);
