White Bass (Morone chrysops) - Scientific Illustration & Identification Guide #1374195 (License: Personal Use)

This high-detail engraving depicts a white bass (Morone chrysops) in lateral view, illustrating its characteristic dark horizontal stripes, deeply forked caudal fin, and prominent spiny dorsal fin with 10-12 rays. Fine cross-hatching renders scale texture and musculature, reflecting 19th- or early 20th-century taxonomic illustration standards used in field guides and scientific publications. The fish’s large eye, slightly downturned mouth, and opercular markings are rendered with anatomical precision.

Used in educational resources, fisheries management documents, museum exhibits, and online biodiversity databases to support species identification, comparative anatomy studies, and historical reference; targets researchers, anglers, students, and naturalists seeking authoritative visual data.
