Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.7 - 26.4, mean 25.8 °C (based on 6 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00632 - 0.02751), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 137 [31, 274] mg/100g; Iron = 1.1 [0.6, 2.1] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.214 [0.112, 0.369] g/100g; Selenium = 46.4 [25.9, 87.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.7 [9.3, 53.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.19 [0.85, 1.68] mg/100g (wet weight);
