Discussion
- Data point Lb is ignorned because of inconsistentcy with Wwb
Facts
- Atheriniform larvae generally are large (0.16-0.35 in; 4-9 mm) at hatching, and although they still possess a yolk sac, they have open mouths and can begin feeding immediately (Ref: encyclopedia)
- Menidia repro: single female-attended by several males-- deposits eggs in aquatic vegetation, and the males leave milt; no courtship has been observed (Ref: encyclopedia)
- length-weight: Ww in g = 0.01122*(TL in cm)^3.04 (Ref: fishbase)
- sex determination by temperature (Ref: PowlSand2008)
