Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.4 - 25.8, mean 17.9 °C (based on 101 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00420 - 0.01434), b=3.17 (3.00 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 5.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Résilience (Ref.
