Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 21.7 - 28.2, mean 26.5 °C (based on 681 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00606 - 0.02615), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.6   ±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 (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 84.3 [41.7, 195.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.706 [0.379, 1.784] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.274 [0.119, 0.773] g/100g; Selenium = 33.5 [17.1, 81.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 160 [54, 445] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.53 [1.04, 2.21] mg/100g (wet weight);
