Determination Type specimen examination
Identification Comments Specimen examined and Id'ed for FoTX project. | Two specimens in poor condition (dark, soft body, most fin rays broken); Larger specimen: ~41 lat line scales; 7 anal rays; both opercles damaged previously presumably while taking p-teeth; left teeth found under opercle are extremely damaged and count not possible; gut found previously cut open and intestine long and black peritoneum (although some worn away due to handling and not black there). Smaller specimen: ~44 lat line scales; 7 anal rays; left arch found under opercle is in half and damaged and count not possible, but appears to be one row; right arch also previously pulled and is clearly ?,?-4,0; I cut belly to find long intestine and black peritoneum much like the larger; species not currently verified as being in Texas and thus some doubt remains despite a fairly high level of confidence in this identification.
Identification Confidence High
