Large mouth bass?

Question

How do large mouth bass reproduce? Sexual reproduction, or asexual reproduction? This is for Biology and I have no clue. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Largemouth bass reproduce sexually.  When spawning season comes in, the male makes a "nest", the female visits the nest, deposits her eggs while he ejaculates the sperm.  The male then stays on the nest to guard the eggs and fry.  He will protect them until the fingerlings about about 2 inches long, unless they leave the nest sooner.
