Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 3.3 - 5.7, mean 4.5 °C (based on 21 cells).
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
