Discussion
- Poul1963: table 12 reports that 45mm individual weighs 2.53 g - we use 2.53/4.5^3 = 0.0278 to convert SL to weight in zero-variate data
- max length is likely higher than the max recorded in Poul1963
Facts
- extremely specialized to their cave ecosystem, requiring a pristine water source that remains at a temperature between 12.8 and 15.6 C (Ref: ADW)
- eggs within the gill chambers of the female (Ref: ADW)
- no pelvic fin; only rudimentary eyes and no optic nerve (Ref: Wiki)
