Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.7 - 29.2, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2224 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00686 - 0.03044), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 30.9 [20.1, 51.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.678 [0.467, 1.029] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.6, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0795 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 18.9 [11.7, 30.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42.8 [12.8, 138.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2 [2, 3] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
