Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.6 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1857 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 231 [100, 502] mg/100g; Iron = 0.995 [0.489, 1.990] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.8, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0974 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 22.6 [9.2, 56.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 149 [37, 557] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.73 [1.69, 4.21] mg/100g (wet weight);
