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).
Due to Hawaii's isolation 30% of the fish are endemic (unique to the island chain). [ 1 ] The Hawaiian Islands comprise 137 islands and atolls, with a land area of 6,423.4 square miles (16,636.5 km 2 ). [ 2 ]

They also commonly inhabit estuarine seagrass meadows. [6] However, their species population have been declining due to the impact of growing human (Homo sapiens) population size
