Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 4.6 - 17.9, mean 8.3 °C (based on 229 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00163 - 0.00884), b=3.16 (2.96 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
