50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].					
													Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00160 - 0.01189), b=3.22 (2.99 - 3.45), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

					Trophic level  (Ref. 
69278):  2.4   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives					
											
				
				
										
						Resilience  (Ref. 
120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
