Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 23.9 - 27.5, mean 26.9 (based on 20 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00187 - 0.01281), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
