ID Status: Specimen examined and ID'ed for FoTX project
ID Comments: dorsal rays 6 - G. affinis is the only Texas species of Gambusia which typically has this few dorsal rays
ID Confidence: high
flag (suspect/examine) November 5, 2011
suspect flag — ID looks to be correct assumeing G. speciosa never has 6 dorsal rays. We are not suspicious of the location or labeling errors, but think the solution to resolving this is to re-evaluate this lot and possibly examine more Gambusia specimens from the Devils River.
