Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18 - 27.2, mean 23.3 °C (based on 89 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.01097 - 0.04568), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±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 = 63.9 [28.1, 133.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.85 [0.45, 1.60] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [18.0, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.217 [0.113, 0.417] g/100g; Selenium = 21.4 [9.1, 45.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 29.9 [6.9, 127.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.949 [0.576, 1.469] mg/100g (wet weight);
