Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Inhabits clear, vegetated lakes , ponds , swamps . Also in backwaters and pools of creeks and rivers [1]. Prefers quiet, clear water and over-grown banks. Largemouth bass are highly adaptable fish, able to thrive in virtually every warm-water habitat , from small creeks to large rivers to huge reservoirs . About the only thing that limits them is cold annual water temperatures (

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 5,478 meters (0 to 17,972 feet).[2]

Ecology: Introduced bass usually affect populations of small native fishes through predation , sometimes resulting in the decline or extinction of such species (Minckley 1973, in Fuller, 1999). Studies have shown that largemouth bass are capable of displacing native species , even predatory species such as northern pike .(USGS-CERC, 2004)

Biology

Diet

Adults feed on fishes , crayfish and frogs ; young feed on crustaceans, insects and small fishes. Sometimes cannibalistic. Does not feed during spawning; as well as when the water temperature is below 5¦C and above 37¦C[3].

Reproduction

"The male which becomes aggressive and territorial builds the nest on muddy bottoms of shallow water. A female may spawn with several males on different nests. The male guards and fans the eggs ." (Fishbase, 2003)

"Spawning takes place spring to summer or when temperature reaches 15°C. Adults mate between the age of 5-12 years" (Fishbase, 2003).

Behavior

Predators:

Preyed upon by herons, bitterns, and kingfishers[4].
