GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is an interesting, well written article. My concerns are the following:
 * "but can be distinguished by the white of its belly not extending over the bases of its pectoral fins." - I don't like this wording as it is clumsy but I could not think of a variant. Perhaps you can.
 * Changed to "...by the dark, rather than white, color over the bases of its pectoral fins"
 * I removed some wikilinks that went to disambig pages, eg. lifespan. Linking to a disambig page is rarely justified.
 * OK
 * I am a little concerned about all the fish terms (WP:JARGON). For the most part you have done a good job of explaining, but any more you can do would be great.
 * Not sure what can be done; changed "labial furrows" to just "furrows", since that's what they are.

 * O.K. Just be conscious of that in your articles. Really, you do an excellent job. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 01:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
