black bassAny of about six species (genus Micropterus) of slender freshwater fishes of the sunfish family; found in eastern North America. Two, the largemouth and smallmouth black basses, have been introduced into other countries and are prized as hard-fighting game fishes. Black basses are larger and longer-bodied than sunfishes and more predatory. The largemouth bass may grow to 32 in. (80 cm) long and weigh 22 lbs (10 kg); it lives in quiet weedy lakes and streams. The smallmouth bass, which usually grows to 5–6 lbs (2–3 kg), inhabits clear, cool lakes and running streams. |

Crispy Black Sea Bass with Shrimp, Piperade and Saffron Mussel Broth (Serves 4) Native groupers off the Carolinas eat black sea bass and parrotfish, Munoz notes, as the red lionfish do. Species popular with sport anglers, like black sea bass in the mid-Atlantic, king mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean perch, moved off the overfished list in 2004 while summer flounder, greater amberjack and others were deemed subject to overfishing without corrective measures. |
