50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00677 - 0.02948), b=2.86 (2.68 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
