Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24 - 28, mean 26.6 °C (based on 164 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00528 - 0.02384), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), 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
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 176 [102, 368] mg/100g; Iron = 1.24 [0.69, 2.06] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.8, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.184 [0.099, 0.348] g/100g; Selenium = 38.7 [17.3, 79.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 80.5 [25.6, 251.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.38 [1.53, 3.48] mg/100g (wet weight);
