Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 16.4 - 21.6, mean 19.3 °C (based on 138 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00716 - 0.01759), b=2.97 (2.84 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 2.3 ±0.12 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 5.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
