One freshwater fish that lives in Texas, is the white croppie. The scientific name for this fish is Pomoxis annularis. These fish have a high reproductive potential which often leads to overproduction in small lakes. They lay their eggs in small beds in shallow water during the spring time. White croppies can be found in large rivers, reservoirs, and lakes, and are tolerant of turbid waters where there is little rooted vegetation. Adult crappies feed on small fish and insects such as various species of minnows and young gizzard shads and are eaten by bass. White croppies are known for their delicious taste, they are easy to catch while fishing, and they are less votive during the day but come out during dawn and dusk.
