Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 20.3 - 25.2, mean 24.4 °C (based on 123 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 28.1 [13.2, 63.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.579 [0.276, 1.104] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.4, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.191 [0.100, 0.407] g/100g; Selenium = 13 [6, 28] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31.9 [8.6, 120.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.22 [0.78, 1.99] mg/100g (wet weight);
