Estimates of some properties based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 23.6 - 27.6, mean 27.1 (based on 174 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00615 - 0.01784), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
