Eponymy: Charles Harvey Bollman (1868–1889) was an America naturalist principally interested in fish and myriapods, considered by Jordan to be one of the most brilliant and promising naturalists ever known despite being just 20 when he died. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.5 - 28, mean 27 °C (based on 104 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±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).
