What is the "surmised consensus of sexual determination (Brill, 1977; Katula, 1986)"?(from "The Spawning Mode of Pirate Perch", Katula) I've got a couple pirate perch and I want to know if I've got a male and female. I can get a picture of both fish tomorrow if necessary.

If the fish are anywhere near ripe the gonads can be seen as a pair of stripes between the anal fin and throat area. Adult males have subtly longer dorsal and anal fins but amny animals needed to get feel for that character.
