					Estimates based on models				
				
				
				Preferred temperature (Ref. 
123201): 1.8 - 14.1, mean 6.6 °C (based on 48 cells).
				
				
					
					Phylogenetic diversity index  (Ref. 
82804):  PD
50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].					
													Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00495 - 0.02022), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 
93245).
					
					Trophic level  (Ref. 
69278):  3.7   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives					
						 Generation time: 13.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
 growth studies.					
						Resilience  (Ref.
