Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 6.9 - 14.6, mean 9.9 °C (based on 728 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00155 (0.00078 - 0.00308), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
