50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00430 - 0.02123), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
