Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.1 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1776 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 (0.00582 - 0.02724), b=2.96 (2.77 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 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): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 631 [227, 2,618] mg/100g; Iron = 2.49 [0.88, 6.65] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.2, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.528 [0.179, 1.583] g/100g; Selenium = 3.59 [0.83, 14.86] μg/100g; VitaminA = 248 [35, 1,837] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.75 [1.36, 5.55] mg/100g (wet weight);
