Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.4 °C (based on 742 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00450 - 0.01608), b=2.75 (2.59 - 2.91), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
