Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.9 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 628 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±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 = 377 [175, 1,115] mg/100g; Iron = 1.68 [0.75, 3.60] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.2, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.142 [0.050, 0.385] g/100g; Selenium = 21.8 [7.7, 57.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 108 [23, 491] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.07 [2.26, 6.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
