Etymology: Lesueurigobius: From Charles Alexandre Leueur, painter that travelled with the scientific expeditons of Nicolas Baudin (1880-1804) in the ships "Géographe" and "Naturaliste" (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Charles Alexandre Lesueur (Le Sueur) (1778–1846) was a French naturalist, artist and explorer. [...] Charles Alexandre Lesueur (Le Sueur) (1778–1846).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 18, mean 14.7 °C (based on 141 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00372 - 0.01070), b=2.99 (2.84 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
