Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 2.5 - 5.2, mean 3.5 (based on 1299 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
