Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 5.6 - 14.6, mean 8.5 °C (based on 224 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00507 - 0.01567), b=3.17 (3.01 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
