Cobia, a warm water fish, is one of the more suitable candidates for offshore aquaculture. [1] [2] Cobia are large pelagic fish, up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long and 68 kilograms (150 lb) in weight. They are solitary fish except when spawning, found in warm-temperate to tropical waters.
Walleye pike was declared the official "state warm water fish" of Vermont in 2012. (Vermont's official "state cold water fish" is the brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis.) [28] South Dakota designated the walleye as its official state fish in 1982. [26]
As fish with a tropical distribution, firemouth cichlids live in warm water with a temperature range of 23–30 °C (73–86 °F). The common name "firemouth" is derived from the bright orange-red colouration on the underside of the jaw, while the specific epithet meeki honors American ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek .
Blackfin tuna are a warmer-water fish, preferring water temperatures over 20 °C (68 °F). [6] The females release eggs into the water column to be fertilized by sperm. Fertilization of their eggs produces pelagic larvae which can be found on the surface of the water all the way to depths of 164 feet. [5] [7]
The water temperature affects the amount of oxygen available as cold water contains more oxygen than warm water. [ 4 ] Coldwater fish species survive in the coldest temperatures, preferring a water temperature of 50 to 60 °F (10–16 °C). [ 5 ]
Hemiramphidae is a family of fishes that are commonly called halfbeaks, spipe fish or spipefish. They are a geographically widespread and numerically abundant family of epipelagic fish inhabiting warm waters around the world. The halfbeaks are named for their distinctive jaws, in which the lower jaws are significantly longer than the upper jaws.
Almost every cool- to warm-water predatory fish species, such as northern pike, muskellunge, bass, sunfish, crappie, walleye, trout, and even other yellow perch, are predators of the yellow perch. They are the primary prey for walleye Sander vitreus , and they consume 58% of the age zero and 47% of the age one yellow perch in northern lakes.
The Quillback live in warm water rivers and warm water lakes inhabiting clear slow moving shallow waters. Quillbacks are omnivorous fish eating insects, aquatic crustaceans to leaves and algae. They are long-lived fish, living up to 11 years old and growing to about 15 to 20 inches in length. [7] LC
