Discussion
- Males ase assumed not to differ from females
Facts
- Saltwater specimens can grow considarably larger. SL 17.9 in Tampa Bay, Florida, 19.5 cm in Salton Sea, California (Ref: John1970)
- length-weight: Ww in g = 0.00912*(TL in cm)^2.98 (Ref: fishbase)
- length-length from photo: SL = 0.82 * TL (Ref: fishbase)
