Product Description
Black Crappie, Pappermouths, Very Nice Plush Fish, Stuffed Animal, Educational, Realistic Figure, Gift, 14"
Black crappies are most accurately identified by the seven or eight spines on its dorsal fin (white crappies have five or six dorsal spines). Crappies have a deep and laterally compressed body. They are usually silvery-gray to green in color and show irregular or mottled black splotches over the entire body. Black crappies have rows of dark spots on their dorsal, anal, and caudal fins.[3] The dorsal and anal fins resemble each other in shape. Both crappies have large mouths extending to below the eye, and thin lips—both suggestive of their piscivorous feeding habits. Crappies are typically about 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) long. The current all-tackle fishing world record for a black crappie is 2.47 kg (5 lb. 7 oz.). The maximum length reported for a black crappie is 19.3 inches (49 cm) and the maximum published weight is just under 6 pounds.
Discover the enchanting world of the Black Crappie Fish, a freshwater gem that captivates anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. This species, known scientifically as Pomoxis nigromaculatus, thrives in the tranquil waters of North America, from the Great Lakes down through the Mississippi River basin to the Gulf of Mexico. Its habitat is as diverse as the ecosystems it calls home, ranging from murky lake waters to slow-moving rivers and reservoirs, making it a fascinating subject of study for those interested in freshwater fishing and aquatic biodiversity. The Black Crappie's preference for vegetated areas, such as those rich in submerged timber or aquatic vegetation, underscores its role in the aquatic food chain and its adaptability to various environmental conditions. This fish is not just a prized catch for its challenging nature and delicious taste but also serves as an indicator of healthy water bodies. Its presence in widespread locations across the United States, including but not limited to, Florida's lakes, the clear waters of Minnesota, and the expansive reservoirs of Texas, highlights the fish's resilience and the importance of conserving its natural habitats. For enthusiasts looking to explore the serene beauty of North America's freshwater environments, the Black Crappie offers a window into the rich aquatic life that flourishes in well-preserved waters. Whether you're an avid angler, a conservationist, or simply someone who appreciates the delicate balance of our ecosystems, the Black Crappie stands as a testament to the diversity and vitality of freshwater fisheries.
