Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.5 - 25.6, mean 23.8 °C (based on 20 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00183 - 0.01143), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 172 [84, 323] mg/100g; Iron = 0.903 [0.516, 1.590] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.105 [0.054, 0.200] g/100g; Selenium = 19.9 [8.7, 46.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 337 [106, 1,109] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.18 [1.38, 3.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
