US Official State Fishes

Official State Fish Designations of the 50 US States

Awarding ribbons in the Official State Fish symbol category was not difficult when we didn't pay too much attention to conflicting popular and scientific names. Of course eight states have no official state fish at all: Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio. Other states have designated two Official State Fish, distinguishing them with labels such as Warm water, Coldwater, Saltwater or Marine, Sport, and Commercial. Some states have managed to walk away with two ribbons in the competition, picking two of the most popular Official State Fish.

 

 

Of the fishless states, Hawaii's trying with a widely recognized "unofficial" entry in the Fish symbol category, the Humuhumunukunukuapua`a or Hawaiian Trigger Fish. Let's make it Official Hawaii! The other seven states have a way to go.
