Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25 - 29.3, mean 28 °C (based on 13814 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00288 - 0.01384), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
