Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.4 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 578 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00606 - 0.02615), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 200 [102, 514] mg/100g; Iron = 1.39 [0.71, 2.83] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.3, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.36 [0.15, 0.98] g/100g; Selenium = 40.6 [19.0, 119.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 64.3 [20.0, 203.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.35 [0.91, 2.07] mg/100g (wet weight);
