Determination Type specimen examination
Identification Comments ID complete | No ID given at time of visit to CAS. ID placed later based on images taken during that visitation. Post-Weberian vertebrae = 35. anal rays = 19. Confident in ID to Ameiurus, but less so regarding species determination to melas. Some pigmentation present on barbels but difficult to determine given age and fading of specimen.
Identification Confidence Medium
