Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass…and 17 other species of black bass?! 🤯
Yup! And almost all of them are of conservation concern within their native streams of the southeastern USA. #BlackBassDiversity #Fishsci

Altamaha Bass
Micropterus sp. cf. coosae
Caught this one 9 years ago near Athens, GA. They are very rare there now thanks to illegal stockings of Alabama Bass, which readily hybridize with this endemic form.

Aka “Kentucky Spotted Bass”
Spotted Bass get a bad rap as an invasive, but within their native range are an important top predator and fun sport fish to target while fishing. #BlackBassDiversity

In these respects, black bass are a sport fish that face many of the same conservation challenges as non-game FW fish! #BlackBassDiversity
