Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.3 - 29.3, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1906 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [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): 3.0 ±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 = 445 [186, 1,513] mg/100g; Iron = 1.8 [0.7, 4.2] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.4, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.104 [0.032, 0.332] g/100g; Selenium = 40.1 [10.4, 132.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 91.4 [15.8, 480.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.84 [2.49, 8.34] mg/100g (wet weight);
