Eponymy: The original text reads: “…Cleisthenes, the effeminate, an Athenian noted by Aristophanes”. [...] This is not an eponym, but a form of toponym. Pinetorum means ‘of the pine trees’. The holotypes of these species were caught in Matsushima Bay, Japan. Matsushima = ‘Pine Island’. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 9.8 - 19.1, mean 17.2 °C (based on 62 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00632 - 0.00870), b=3.07 (3.03 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 11.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
