Largemouth bass now known as Florida bass, 'a distinct species': 'Discovery is crucial'

The largemouth bass is now known as the Florida bass after a study determined these are two separate species of fish. "This discovery is crucial," said Michelle Kerr, wildlife expert.
"Understanding these distinctions is essential for effective conservation and management of the species." Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
Its name change comes after a recent study by Yale University that "used advanced genetic analysis and determined Florida bass to be its own species."
