Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 663 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.61 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
