Photograph by David Huang. beach seines during annual monitoring conducted by the Marine Science Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara of the upper San Dieguito River, San Diego County. These specimens are deposited at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, SIO 01-192. On 23 September 2000, five more individuals were collected from the same location using dip nets. Salinity of the water at the times and locations of capture were between and ppt, a condition more saline than those in which they are typically found. All of the specimens had a distinct mid-lateral stripe from the tip of the snout to the base of the caudal fin, which was used to identify them as L. goodei. Two of the larger specimens also had the bright, iridescent blue caudal and anal fins characteristic of adult male L. goodei. Morphometric and meristic characters are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Counts and morphometric measurements of Lucania goodei specimens taken from upper San Dieguito River on 27 July 2000 (SIO 01-192).
