Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 26.7 - 29.3, mean 28.6 (based on 1844 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00592 - 0.03870), b=3.00 (2.77 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
