Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 17.3 - 18.3, mean 17.7 °C (based on 12 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00648 - 0.02444), b=2.97 (2.81 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-BS (Ref.
