Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 23.8 - 28.2, mean 27.2 (based on 459 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00359 - 0.01758), b=2.80 (2.61 - 2.99), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
