Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.7 - 13, mean 8.6 °C (based on 245 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00753 - 0.01211), b=2.75 (2.70 - 2.80), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
