Estimates of some properties based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.5 (based on 2833 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5234 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00193 - 0.01241), b=3.05 (2.83 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
