Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.2 - 24.6, mean 24.3 °C (based on 9 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00267 - 0.01964), b=3.00 (2.76 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.62 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 22.4 [4.2, 97.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.663 [0.172, 1.883] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [17.5, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.259 [0.120, 0.556] g/100g; Selenium = 25.9 [8.0, 67.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 8.55 [3.59, 21.11] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.651 [0.333, 1.211] mg/100g (wet weight);
