Species Overview

Japanese Fugu

The Japanese pufferfish, or fugu, contains tetrodotoxin, a poison 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. Despite this, it is a prized delicacy in Japan, where specially licensed chefs prepare it as sashimi, hot pot, and grilled dishes.

Largemouth Bass

The largemouth bass is the most popular freshwater game fish in North America. Known for explosive topwater strikes and powerful runs, it inhabits warm lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with abundant cover.
