Eponymy: Professor Carl Levitt (Leavitt) Hubbs (1894–1979) was a giant of American ichthyology. [...] Clarence Lester Turner (1890–1969) was an American ichthyologist who studied embryology and reproduction in fishes. Among his published works are: The Crayfishes of Ohio (1926) and Collected Papers on Reproduction and Viviparity in Teleost Fishes (1962). (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00468 - 0.03088), b=3.01 (2.79 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.0 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
