Description

The bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is a North American freshwater fish that can grow up to about 30 cm long. Possessing a trait that is rare for fish species, the bluegill's skin contains chromatophores, allowing it to change its coloration. This species is of interest to anglers both as a panfish and as bait for larger fish.
