Bluegill have a rather bold character; many have no fear of humans, eating food directly dropped into the water, and a population in Canada's Lake Scugog will even allow themselves to be stroked by human observers. Because of their size and the method of cooking them, bluegills are often called panfish. [40]
[citation needed] Females reach sexual maturity at 4.5 m (15 ft) in length [4] and 18–35 years in age, [citation needed] while males reach sexual maturity much earlier at 3.15 m (10.3 ft) in size [1] and 11–14 years in age. Many biologists believe that the male bluntnose sixgill shark's teeth are specially adapted for courtship.
The female deposits her egg mass, and then at least two males release their milt over the eggs, with the total process taking about five seconds. The males stay with the eggs for a short time, but the females leave immediately. No parental care is provided for the eggs or fry. The average clutch size is 23,000 eggs, but can range from 2,000 to ...
Sarcopterygii (/ ˌ s ɑːr k ɒ p t ə ˈ r ɪ dʒ i. aɪ /; from Ancient Greek σάρξ (sárx) 'flesh' and πτέρυξ (ptérux) 'wing, fin') — sometimes considered synonymous with Crossopterygii (from Ancient Greek κροσσός (krossós) 'fringe') — is a clade (traditionally a class or subclass) of vertebrate animals which includes a group of bony fish commonly referred to as lobe ...
Redear sunfish generally resemble bluegill except for coloration and somewhat larger maximum size. The redear sunfish also has faint vertical bars traveling downwards from its dorsal. [3] It is dark-colored dorsally and yellow-green ventrally. Unlike bluegill, the male has a cherry-red edge on its operculum; females have orange coloration in ...

The kiwi lays the largest egg of any bird relative to its size – up to a quarter of the mass of the female. Viperfish have the largest teeth of any fish relative to its size. Shrews have the largest brain-to-body mass ratio of any animal, with brains that are 10% of body weight. Humans however have the largest encephalization quotient of any ...
The species known to hybridize with it are the green sunfish (L. cyanellus) and the bluegill (L. macrochirus), as well as the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and the black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus). [18] [19] This does not seem to affect the overall health or longevity of the species.
