US EditionCalifornia aims to introduce more anglers to native warm-water tolerant sunfish as planet heats up
- The Sacramento perch, California's only native sunfish, is being reintroduced to Southern California in an effort to expand its range and create a viable fishery option in areas where trout populations are declining due to climate change and warming waters.
- The introduction of Sacramento perch is part of a multiyear experiment in response to the threats posed by climate change to cold-water game fish species like trout. While the focus is on preserving a native species, the Sacramento perch's ability to tolerate warm water and extreme conditions makes it a potential alternative for anglers as temperatures rise.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — California’s only native sunfish, the Sacramento perch, survived catastrophic floods in the 1860s and was so abundant that it was a regular staple in San Francisco’s markets before invasive species decimated its population. Today it is relegated to mostly isolated lakes, reservoirs and ponds with few predators. But as the planet heats up and threatens many cold-water game fish species like trout, the Sacramento perch may be on t…
