Abstract
The species commonly referred to as "sunfish" or "panfish" belong to the Centrarchidae family (Pflieger 1975). This family inhabits North America and is loosely divided among three groups: black bass Micropterus spp., sunfish Lepomis spp., and crappie Pomoxis spp. Although Centrarchidae includes several genera with culture potential, this chapter will focus on members of Lepomis; the term "sunfish" will be used hereafter.
