Homonym: basses (Fish)
Basses are a type of fish that belong to the family Moronidae and Centrarchidae. They are popular among anglers due to their size and fighting ability. Common species include the largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, which are often found in freshwater lakes and rivers across North America.
In addition to their recreational value, bass are also important in ecosystems as both predators and prey. They feed on smaller fish and invertebrates, helping to maintain the balance of aquatic life. Basses are also farmed in aquaculture for food, contributing to the fishing industry.
