Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): -0.9 - 3.9, mean 3.5 °C (based on 120 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00137 - 0.00504), b=3.22 (3.05 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-BS (Ref.
