Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.7 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 1943 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 528 [216, 1,963] mg/100g; Iron = 2.07 [0.78, 4.99] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.4, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.101 [0.029, 0.365] g/100g; Selenium = 42.1 [10.0, 150.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 79 [13, 461] μg/100g; Zinc = 5.39 [2.65, 9.62] mg/100g (wet weight);
