50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00091 (0.00039 - 0.00215), b=2.99 (2.79 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
