Etymology: Neobythites: Greek, neos = new + Greek, bythitis, -idos = it is at the bottom, sunken (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Professor Theodore Nicholas Gill (1837–1914) was an American ichthyologist, malacologist, mammologist and librarian, a zoologist at George Washington University and associated with the Smithsonian Institution for more than half a century. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.3 - 26, mean 21.3 °C (based on 83 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00167 - 0.00864), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
