Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.2 - 27.9, mean 25.3 °C (based on 112 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01133 - 0.04632), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 40.3 [17.9, 87.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.66 [0.36, 1.16] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [18.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.201 [0.112, 0.357] g/100g; Selenium = 20.2 [9.4, 40.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 29 [7, 117] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.719 [0.455, 1.103] mg/100g (wet weight);
