Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Known to enter lower reaches of rivers. Usually found on sandy bottoms in nearshore areas; usually solitary (Ref. 68964 ). Forms small to moderately large aggregations at all sizes (Ref. 48636 ). Minimum depth from Ref. 3470.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.8 - 29.1, mean 28.2 °C (based on 734 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00757 - 0.01151), b=3.09 (3.06 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.6   ±0.0 se; based on diet studies. Generation time: 1.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 73.4 [39.9, 130.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.663 [0.298, 1.134] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.3, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.181 [0.114, 0.334] g/100g; Selenium = 30.6 [16.7, 61.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 72.9 [21.7, 265.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.49 [0.92, 2.09] mg/100g (wet weight);
