Found inCommon and scientific names of fishes from the U.S. and Canada, 1991: p. 35 (Gambusia affinis, western mosquitofish) p. 83 ("The mosquitofish of previous editions of this list was regarded as a single species with two well-defined subspecies. Biochemical and chromosome studies have added to the morphological evidence suggesting that population east and west of the Mobile River system, Alabama, should be regarded as separate species, G. holbrooki, eastern mosquitofish, and G. affinis, western mosquitofish")
