A Redear Sunfish S taff biologists of the West V ir- g in ia conservation com m ission's d ivision of fish m anagem ent recent ly became aw are of a “ strange” sunfish in Lake Chaweva, near C harleston. Some anglers wondered w hat the fish m ig h t be. Technicians of the Com m ission id e n tifie d it as a Lepo- m is m icrolophus, or the western she llcra cke r (now called the red • ear sunfish). This species of sunfish, closely related to the pumpkinseed sunfish, has never been found in West V ir ginia waters. Undoubtedly it has been introduced into Lake Chaweva fro m m idw estern state areas. The fish has a general shape m ore like a crappie than the typ ica l b lu e g ill, o r other sunfish species. Its pectoral fin is ve ry long and pointed. The o p e rcular fla p has a b rig h t orange, or red at tim es, band on the m a rg in . The m a xim u m size this fish attains is about 12 inches; however, in crowded lake conditions it generally doesn't get m uch longer than seven inches. The redear has not been collected elsewhere in West V irg in ia than Lake Chaweva. I t is believed, how ever, th a t it has undoubtedly es caped fro m the lake and m ay be found in some of the Kanawha R ive r drainage stream s. This spe cies is generally found only in the M ississippi R ive r in M isso u ri and fro m southern Indiana, south to A labam a and the R io Grande. It has been found in Lake M ich ig a n drainage fro m Indiana. The fish is com m only found in o r near large, w a rm rive rs, bayous and lakes. It is found in Buckeye Lake, near Co lumbus, Ohio; and in a few other lakes in the State o f Ohio.
