Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.3 - 27.4, mean 25.2 °C (based on 56 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.01170 - 0.03102), b=3.03 (2.89 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
