Hybridization is frequent among the genus Lepomis and males will often spawn with two or more females in a single nest (Buchanan355).
Lastly, the remaining Lepomis that are similar to the green sunfish have long and pointed vs. short and rounded pectoral fins respectively (Buchanan367).
Lepomiscyanellus has a high tolerance to a wide range of ecological conditions such as extreme turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and flow (Buchanan367).
Evaluation of Gambusia affinis, Lepomis cyanellus and their interactive effect on mosquito control. [Abstract](Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Evaluation of Gambusia affinis, Lepomiscyanellus and their interactive effect on mosquito control.
The effects of 2 species of predacious fish, Gambusia affinis and Lepomiscyanellus, introduced into rice fields for mosquito control were investigated in California.
Populations of A. freeborni were higher in plots with L. cyanellus than in those with G. affinis.

cyanellus from each pool was: pool 1 = 69 (plus 49 unmeasured), pool 2 = 67, pool 3 = 44, and pool 4 = 21 (with about 10 more fish not measured).
Interestingly, in pool 1 the size classes of Lepomiscyanellus were skewed to relatively smaller fish, within only a few relatively large fish being present.
Presumably this is due to their mass removal in 1999, although this seems like a very long time lag for recruitment not to fill in the missing size classes.
Ellis, J. The jumping ability and behavior of green sunfish (Lepomiscyanellus) at the outflow of a 1.6 ha pond.
Abstract: Effects of a plunging water flow on the behavior of green sunfish (Lepomiscyanellus) 7.1 to 9.7 cm in total length were studied at the outflow of a 1.6-ha pond.
The majority of the fish were captured during the 0600-hr tending period: 79% pipe only study and 82.4% pipe and grid combined study.
The four species selected for study were the red-ear sunfish, Lepomis microlophus, the bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, the green sunfish, Lepomiscyanellus, and the warmouth, Chaenobryttus gulosus.
Hybridization of male warmouths with females of the three Lepomisspecies resulted in partial or complete lethals, suggesting that in the warmouth the male is the heterogametic sex.
The Lepomisspecies have such high reproductive capacities and survival capabilities that they commonly become so abundant that they are unable to grow to sizes large enough to be of value to fishermen.

The generic epithet is the name of the genus (singular of genera) to which bluegill sunfish belong, the genus Lepomis.
There are other species of sunfish in the genus Lepomis, examples are Lepomiscyanellus (green sunfish), Lepomis megalotis (longear sunfish), and Lepomis gibbosus (pumpkinseed sunfish).
Notice that all of these species share the same generic epithet, this indicates that they are all thought to be more closely related to each other than to any other species of fish.

To augment the display, each Lepomisspecies has either an extension or a prominent marking on the gill covers, ranging from the ear-like projections of longear and redbreast sunfish, to the bright red dots of pumpkinseeds.
Similarly, aquarists collecting sunfish from bodies of water that contain two or more Lepomisspecies should examine each fish they collect to make sure it is not a hybrid.
Although Lepomisspecies require a large tank, the Enneacanthus species can be successfully bred in smaller aquariums.

Then the construct was microinjected into eggs of Lepomiscyanellus and the transgenic Lepomiscyanellus was produced.
The results showed that the integration ratio of transgene was 5.60%-12.26%, and that the transgene was correctly transcribed and expressed in mosaic fashion in host fish.
transgenic Lepomiscyanellus were transgenic mosaics and also provided convincing evidence that the transgene CAecGHc was transmitted to the progeny through the germline[Acta Zoologica Sinica 51(2): 299–307, 2005].

If Lepomis macrochirus and Lepomis microlophus are more closely related to each other than they are to Lepomiscyanellus and if Lepomiscyanellus and Lepomis macrochirus
If Lepomis macrochirus and Lepomiscyanellus are more closely related to each other than they are to Lepomis microlophus and if Lepomiscyanellus and Lepomis microlophus are the least related species, then the following dendogram should result from comparing their DNA sequences.

Taxonomic Comments: Reported to hybridize with LEPOMIS GULOSUS, L. MACROCHIRUS, and L. Though the gender of the name LEPOMIS is feminine (see Bailey and Robins, 1988, Bull.
1991) retained the masculine ending for CYANELLUS and other species, pending a vote by the ICZN on a petition (by Etnier and Warren) to treat LEPOMIS as masculine for nomenclatural purposes.

Importance of food ration and water temperature on growth of juvenile green sunfish (Lepomiscyanellus).
Author: Pope, Kevin L. Abstract.--A randomized design was used to test the difference in growth rates of juvenile green sunfish (Lepomiscyanellus) subjected to three treatments (food ration, temperature and salinity).
Food ration and water temperature were similarly important in affecting growth of juvenile green sunfish.
