Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 19.2 - 28.1, mean 26 °C (based on 251 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00321 - 0.00783), b=3.26 (3.13 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.71 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
