Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 8.6 - 13.8, mean 12.9 °C (based on 14 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00245 (0.00126 - 0.00477), b=3.19 (3.02 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
