The fish is named in honor of Carter R. Gilbert (1930-2022), who was the Curator of Fishes at the Florida Museum of Natural History from 1961 to 1998, because of his many contributions to the study of North American fishes. [3] Elasoma gilberti is closely related to E. okefenokee, and the two species are nearly indistinguishable in appearance.
Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and c is a constant that varies among species. [5] A weight-length relationship was determined for a sample of 1,984 Florida pompano collected along the Gulf Coast of Florida between 2000 and 2002. [6] The fish sampled ranged in length from 79 to 481 mm (3.16-19.24 in).
The Gulf killifish is found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea, and over the Southeast United States Continental Shelf. [10] The normal range of Gulf killifish is from Texas to the western coast of Florida and from the east coast of Florida and throughout the Caribbean. [5]

Gulf butterfish form large loose schools across the continental shelf over sand/mud bottoms; depth ranges from 2 to 275 m at least, but are most abundant at 155 to 225 m. They are found near the bottom during the day, and migrate into the water column at night. Juveniles are often found under floating weeds and with jellyfish. [3]
Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and the constant c varies between species. [6] Data from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission indicate, for the gafftopsail catfish, c = 0.000493 and b = 3.075 [7] The relationship described in this section suggests a 12-inch gafftopsail catfish will weigh about one pound, while a ...
