George I agree, oftentimes the details tell the whole story and are quite interesting besides.

I have to admit to being curious though...if I remember correctly, Tamu advocates for the two sub species being the same..I think.

Interesting reading here also...note to Al: check out the part where the CNBG from the manatee river section are described as being more plate shaped than the specimens from the St Johns river system..... http://forum.nanfa.org/index.php/topic/12901-lepomis-macrochirus-purpurescens-vs/

Not claiming either is correct, just some interesting reading material.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
