This is due in large part to its popularity as a sportfish. This popularity has lead to the introduction of largemouth bass populations into many areas where they are not native. Their current range includes the U. Description: The largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides is a member of the sunfish family Centrarchidae along with sunfish or breams Lepomis spp.
Members of the genus Micropterus are known as the black basses. Largemouth bass have a large, slightly upward sloping mouth. The body is slender especially when young to robust, slightly flattened from side to side, producing an oval appearance in cross section.
When closed, the corner of the mouth extends well past the eye, hence the common name. Largemouth bass have a divided dorsal fin spiny front dorsal; soft-rayed rear dorsal with the front dorsal containing nine spines and the soft-rayed dorsal containing 12 to 13 soft rays.
Dark blotches along the side may be present to form a horizontal stripe along the middle of the fish along the sides, although this feature may be less obvious on many individuals.
The belly and underside can range in color from white to light green. Biology and Life History: There are two recognized subspecies of largemouth bass, the Florida and the Northern. These subspecies blend genetically in areas of overlap.
Subspecies can be positively identified by genetic analysis, or by scale counts. The Florida largemouth has slightly smaller scales than the northern largemouth bass in relation to the size of its body. It has 69 to 73 scales along the lateral line, compared to 59 to 65 on the northern largemouth.
It grows faster and reaches larger sizes in warm waters than the northern largemouth, leading to its popularity in stocking efforts across the U. In the southern U. Males begin to select nest sites when temperatures remain higher than 60F. The male will fan out a nest about 20 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep.
A substrate of sand or gravel is preferred, but silt or clay will be used if necessary. We have interdisciplinary activities and tips to help. This brief guide will provide you with the information you need to make a number of solutions commonly used in educational laboratories.
