The sunfish is a freshwater fish and an edible fish. In terms of size, sunfish are not particularly large, they are small fish. After they become adults, their body length will generally be between 24 and 40 centimeters, and there are few very large individuals. From the weight point of view, many sunfish individuals only weigh between 50 and 100 grams. There are also slightly larger individuals, but they only weigh about 2 kilograms.
How big a sunfish can grow is affected by many factors. For example, the size of different breeds is not the same. There are many different species of sunfish, some of which are larger and some of which are smaller. For example, the average weight of "black crappie sunfish" is between 340 and 680 grams, and larger individuals can weigh up to 2 kilograms. In addition, even for the same breed, individuals living in different environments have different weights. If they live in a suitable environment, they can be relatively large. If the environment is very unsuitable, then there may be stunted growth.
The life span of the sunfish is not particularly strong. Generally speaking, it can only live for a few years. Those with a longer life span can live for about six years. Of course, how long the sunfish can live is not certain, and it is also affected by many factors. The suitability of the environment is also an important factor. For example, sunfish living in polluted environment live for a relatively short time and are prone to illness and death. For example, human hunting is also an important factor, which shortens the average life span of sunfish.
