Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 23.5 - 24.6, mean 23.7 °C (based on 20 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00632 - 0.02751), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.3 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 = 68.6 [22.4, 135.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.689 [0.358, 1.240] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [17.4, 21.1] %; Omega3 = 0.14 [0.07, 0.23] g/100g; Selenium = 22.5 [13.1, 39.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 109 [43, 272] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.42 [0.97, 2.17] mg/100g (wet weight);
