We have not yet completed our meristic and morphometric studies of larvae set to us by Katula. More detailed analyses are currently underway. Our preliminary inspection of our samples suggests similar steep mortality rates between age classes. So far, we have not found fish older than 36 months, using June as month one. Kerns reports a variety of other growth measurements, some of which differentiate between sexes.
More detailed studies are currently underway.
