Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.5 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1665 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00650 - 0.02933), b=3.03 (2.85 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 35.6 [14.6, 119.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.613 [0.242, 1.522] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.6, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0861 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 30.7 [10.6, 90.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 49 [15, 162] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.22 [0.99, 3.99] mg/100g (wet weight);
