Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.8 - 17.2, mean 11.5 °C (based on 107 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00156 - 0.00968), b=3.08 (2.87 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): .
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100) .
