Longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis)

The longear sunfish is a freshwater fish in the sunfish family. An increase in sunfish in southeastern streams, intentionally stocked or unintentionally transplanted, has caused the composition of fish species among streams in the Southeast to become more similar. Such homogenization of species is an emerging and pervasive threat to biodiversity. Click here to learn more.
