Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am}, E_Hp and [p_M] only

Facts

  • weight length relationship: Ww in g = 0.00724 * (TL in cm)^3.14 (Ref: fishbase)
  • length-length relationship from photo: SL = 0.82 * TL; for neonates: TL in cm = 0.97 * (SL in cm) + 0.262 (Ref: TurnSnel1984)
  • Neonates are directly piscivorous (Ref: TurnSnel1984)
  • Ovoviviparous; minimum sperm storage estimate: 80-83 days; among the most fecund of poeciliid fishes (Ref: TurnSnel1984)
