Spencer, pers.comm. 09/13). ;   viridis: Name from Latin 'viridis' for green' in Latin, name given by O. Fabricius due to the colour of fishes, which live in a zone of macroalgae (Ref. 123905 ) .

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): -1.5 - 4.8, mean -0.5 °C (based on 1722 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00150 - 0.00530), b=3.19 (3.01 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.26 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=12). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).
