50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02818 (0.01560 - 0.05090), b=3.14 (2.98 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
