Description:
Black sea bass are typically dark gray to black, with paler bellies and dark fins spotted with dusky marks. Smaller fish may appear more brownish; dominant spawning males develop blue hues and a pronounced hump. They grow to about 2 feet and 9 pounds.
Habitat:
Black sea bass inhabit structured temperate Atlantic waters from Maine to Florida, favoring reefs, wrecks, and similar bottom features. They migrate seasonally, moving inshore and north in spring and offshore and south in fall. Their presence is tied to coastal and bay environments.
Harvesting:
U.S. wild-caught black sea bass are sustainably managed with size, gear, season, and quota controls to prevent overfishing. Commercial harvest uses trawls, pots, and hook-and-line gear, while recreational anglers primarily fish with handlines and rods. Management measures minimize bycatch and habitat impact.
