Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 17.8 - 23, mean 19.6 °C (based on 16 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (13 of 100) .
