Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.2 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2558 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01585 (0.00637 - 0.03944), b=3.01 (2.79 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 121 [58, 188] mg/100g; Iron = 0.764 [0.449, 1.306] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.1, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.117 [0.067, 0.197] g/100g; Selenium = 21.7 [11.2, 43.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 117 [33, 409] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.91 [1.28, 2.81] mg/100g (wet weight);
