Range and Identity
Menidia clarkhubbsi was described in 1982 as an all-female species. Subsequent genetic research examined fish from a Galveston Island pool and Nine Mile Point Pond near Rockport. These are historical study localities, not a complete statement of where the species survives today.
Habitat and Behavior
Researchers collected it with Menidia beryllina and Menidia peninsulae. Coexistence makes accurate identification important: a small silverside from one of those pools is not automatically Texas Silverside. The study emphasized partially isolated coastal pools rather than an unrestricted inland freshwater range.
Food and Life History
The genetic work suggested ancestry involving forms similar to those two neighboring species, while noting unresolved details. That is not a reason to replace this entry with a generic hybrid label. A verified species-specific maximum length and weight were not established in the checked evidence.
Field Note
Retain the identification method and locality with a record. An all-female population description concerns the identified species, not every silverside sharing its habitat.
