Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 25 - 29.1, mean 28.5 °C (based on 860 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00852 - 0.02451), b=2.90 (2.76 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref.
