Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible.;  karaspila: Name from the Greek words ' kara' meaning head and 'spilous' for spot; referring to the distinctive occipital spot; an adjective..

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 28.9, mean 27.1 °C (based on 156 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 488 [204, 1,989] mg/100g; Iron = 2.23 [0.84, 5.32] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.163 [0.044, 0.615] g/100g; Selenium = 37.1 [8.9, 124.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 97.9 [15.5, 588.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 5.87 [2.88, 10.52] mg/100g (wet weight);
