Aplodinotus grunniens

About This Fish

The Freshwater Drum has a wide distribution ranging from Central America to Canada. This distribution stretches farther from north to south than any other freshwater fish species in North America. Freshwater Drums live at the bottom of large rivers and lakes. Like other members of the drum family, they are able to make noise (or drumming sounds) using their gas bladder.
