Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 3.4 - 10.2, mean 6.9 °C (based on 170 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00316 (0.00189 - 0.00529), b=3.19 (3.04 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.7   ±0.54 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 13.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
