List of fishes of West Virginia

December 02, 2023

The state of West Virginia has a wide variety of freshwater fish species in its rivers, lakes, and streams. 20% of these species are sportfish, and the remaining 80% are nongame species.[1]

The taxa edit

The following letters indicate the river systems that contain each species:

O Ohio River Basin Includes the Ohio, Monongahela, Little Kanawha, Kanawha, Guyandotte, and Big Sandy Rivers.
N New River Basin Includes the New and Gauley Rivers.
P Potomac River Basin Includes the Potomac River.
J James River Basin Includes the James

In addition, the IUCN classifies one of these species as critically endangered CR, one as endangered EN, five as vulnerable VU, and three as near-threatened NT.
