Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.1 - 25.5, mean 24.2 °C (based on 50 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5044 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00290 - 0.01092), b=3.18 (3.02 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
