Bluegills can grow up to 16 in (41 cm) long and about 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 lb (2.0 kg). While their color can vary from population to population, they typically have a very distinctive coloring, with deep blue and purple on the face and gill cover, dark olive-colored bands down the side, and a fiery orange to yellow belly.
The adult fish are between 20 and 24 cm (7.9 and 9.4 in) in length. Max length is 43.2 cm (17.0 in), compared to a maximum of about 40 cm (16 in) for the bluegill. Redear sunfish on average reach about 0.45 kg (0.99 lb), also larger than the average bluegill.
The green sunfish does not always grow large enough to be an appealing target for anglers, [2] but it is kept as an aquarium fish by hobbyists. [3] They grow to be 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) long on average, but can achieve a length of 12 inches (30 cm).
The greengill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus × cyanellus) is sometimes referred to as hybrid sunfish or bluegill x green sunfish hybrid. It is a hybrid between a bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus). [1] They can sometimes be found in ponds, lakes, or streams where there is both bluegill and green sunfish.
These fish are typically 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 centimetres) long, but can grow to over one foot (30 cm) in length, and reach 2.25 pounds (1.02 kg). [4] The warmouth is occasionally confused with the rock bass ( Ambloplites rupestris ) or green sunfish ( Lepomis cyanellus ), both of which share its relatively large mouth and heavy body.
The body of the mummichog is elongate but thick, with a deep caudal peduncle. Usual length is 7.5 to 9 cm (3.0 to 3.5 in) but a maximum length of up to 15 cm (5.9 in) is possible. The mouth is upturned and the lower jaw protrudes when the mouth is closed. Pectoral and tail fins are round.
The bluntnose sixgill shark can grow to 5.5 m (18 ft). [2] A work from the 1880s stated that a bluntnose sixgill shark caught off Portugal in 1846 measured 8 m (26 ft). This specimen was originally reported in an 1846 work and said to be only 0.68 m (2.2 ft) long. [ 6 ]
Cystidia are terminal cells of hyphae in the hymenium which do not produce spores, and function in aiding spore dispersal, and maintaining favorable humidity around developing spores. [25] The pleurocystidia are cystidia that are found on the face of a gill; they are 40–56 by 6.4–8 μm, roughly spindle-shaped, and have a constricted apex.
