Discussion
- Among the various C. nevadensis subspecies there are minor differences in generation times, with pupfish in habitats with widely fluctuating environmental conditions exhibiting shorter generation times
- The data are compiled for different subspecies, while subscpecies can vary considerably in traits
Facts
- weight length relationship: Ww in g = 0.01072 * (TL in cm)^3.22 (Ref: fishbase)
- TL = 1.212 * SL (Ref: fishbase)
- Pupfishes feed primarily on blue-green cyanobacteria. They feed seasonally on small invertebrates, mostly chironomid larvae, ostracods, and copepods (Ref: MoylYoshi1995)
