Range and Identity
Cynoscion xanthulus is native to Mexican Pacific waters. The species was introduced to California’s Salton Sea, but an introduction record does not establish present occupancy. Dates and population history should accompany inland records rather than being added as an unqualified part of the natural range.
Habitat and Behavior
Coastal marine waters provide the native habitat described in the account. The Salton Sea introduction demonstrates a distinct historical setting with high salinity, not a universal preference for inland saline lakes. Native and introduced environments should remain clearly distinguished.
Size and Life-History Records
The species reproduces by laying eggs. Compiled upper references are 129 centimeters total length and 24.6 kilograms, listed independently. The sparse ecological summary does not establish a complete feeding schedule or a spawning season that can be applied without qualification to both native coastal and introduced inland populations.
Field Note
Preserve the date of a Salton Sea record. A historical introduction and a currently occupied habitat are different claims and require different evidence.
