| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00468 (0.00297 - 0.00738), b=3.14 (3.00 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.2 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies. |
| Generation time | 7.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. |
|
