Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 28.6, mean 26.9 °C (based on 26 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00506 - 0.01306), b=3.13 (3.00 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.2   ±0.31 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 (15 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 207 [123, 437] mg/100g; Iron = 1.3 [0.7, 2.3] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.231 [0.120, 0.384] g/100g; Selenium = 53.6 [28.4, 101.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 20.9 [7.3, 63.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.4 [1.0, 2.0] mg/100g (wet weight);
