Silver Bream
Blicca bjoerkna
Silver bream (Blicca bjoerkna) is a small cyprinid of slow rivers, canals, lakes and backwaters across much of Europe and western Asia. It feeds mainly on benthic invertebrates and plant material, and is usually a modest-sized coarse fish rather than a prime sport species.
Silver Carp
Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) is a large invasive filter-feeding carp native to eastern Asia and now established in many warm rivers, reservoirs, and floodplain waters worldwide. It feeds on plankton, jumps violently when disturbed, and is often more of a nuisance than a targeted sport fish.
Smallmouth Bass
Micropterus dolomieu
Smallmouth Bass is a bronzeback black bass native to clear, cool, rocky waters of eastern and central North America and widely introduced elsewhere. It is a hard-fighting, sight- and vibration-feeding predator that often holds near current breaks and structure.
Smallmouth Buffalo
Ictiobus bubalus
Smallmouth Buffalo is a large North American sucker native to the Mississippi, Missouri, and Red River basins. It feeds mostly by sucking up plankton, detritus, and small invertebrates from open water and slow currents, and is usually targeted accidentally or as a rough-fish challenge.
Southern Redbelly Dace
Chrosomus erythrogaster
Southern Redbelly Dace is a small North American minnow found in cool, clear headwaters and spring-fed creeks. Males develop a vivid red belly and often spawning tubercles; it is mostly of interest to bait collectors and naturalists rather than as a target game fish.
Speckled Dace
Rhinichthys osculus
Speckled Dace is a small western North American minnow with many local forms. It lives in clear, shallow streams and spring-fed waters, where it forages on tiny aquatic insects and algae.
Spotfin Shiner
Cyprinella spiloptera
The spotfin shiner is a small North American minnow found in clear to moderately turbid streams and rivers, often over sand, gravel, or riffles. Males develop a dark spot on the dorsal fin and can show blue-green sheen during spawning.
Spotted Bass
Micropterus punctulatus
Spotted Bass is a black bass native to the southeastern United States, now widely introduced elsewhere. It favors clear to moderately turbid water and often overlaps with largemouth and smallmouth bass, but usually stays more offshore or current-oriented than largemouths.
Spotted Gar
Lepisosteus oculatus
Spotted Gar is a long, narrow North American gar with a spotted body and sharp tooth-filled snout. It lives in slow, shallow freshwater and is an ambush predator that often lurks among weeds and submerged cover.
Spotted Sunfish
Lepomis punctatus
Spotted Sunfish is a small North American sunfish found mainly in slow, vegetated freshwater systems of the Southeast. It feeds on small invertebrates and is often overlooked by anglers, but will readily bite tiny offerings.
Spotted Tilapia
Pelmatolapia mariae
Spotted Tilapia (Pelmatolapia mariae) is a hardy African cichlid widely introduced outside its native range and often established in warm freshwater canals, ponds, and slow rivers. It is a nest-building omnivore that can be caught on small natural baits and light tackle where populations are legal to target.
Stone Loach
Barbatula barbatula
Stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) is a small, bottom-dwelling Eurasian loach of clear, cool streams and rivers. It hides under stones by day and feeds mostly at night on aquatic invertebrates and small benthic prey.
