Eponymy: Charles Frederick Hartt (1840–1878) was a Canadian geologist, palaeontologist and naturalist, who was a member of the Thayer Expedition (1865–1866) to Brazil, a country in which he was a specialist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00262 - 0.01262), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
