Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.8 - 28.5, mean 26.3 °C (based on 52 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.00796 - 0.03794), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
