Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 20.6 - 28.4, mean 25.6 °C (based on 64 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00646 - 0.02815), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.6 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 (25 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 137 [85, 300] mg/100g; Iron = 1.19 [0.70, 2.30] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.274 [0.147, 0.518] g/100g; Selenium = 50.2 [27.2, 96.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 26.1 [8.1, 68.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.38 [0.96, 1.96] mg/100g (wet weight);
