Redear Sunfish
S taff biologists of the West V ir-

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.
