50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref.
