Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 27.8, mean 26.9 °C (based on 72 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 319 [153, 970] mg/100g; Iron = 1.9 [0.9, 3.7] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.3, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.188 [0.071, 0.523] g/100g; Selenium = 47.4 [14.8, 134.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 66.9 [15.0, 293.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.75 [2.03, 6.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
