What is the life span of a fresh water large mouth bass?

Question

Without fishing

Answer 1

Yahzmin has provided answers that reflect "maximum" life span. The "life expectancy" is however much shorter. Just as some humans may live to 100+ years, the life "expectancy" of the "average" individual is much less than that. Life expectancy also depends upon the age of the individual whose life expectancy is being estimated. (within a society, a 10 year old child is expected to live longer than a 70 year old, but the "expected age at death" of the 70 year old is higher because the cohort of 70 year olds no longer contains those individuals who have died between the ages of 10 and 70). Largemouth bass produce thousands of eggs and the survival of the early stages is extremely low. The life expectancy of a "fry" stage individual is probably in the range of days, perhaps weeks, under natural conditions because of the large number being eaten by predators. Life expectancies can be estimated by the use of "life tables" in which the number of individuals alive at various ages throughout the lifespan are used. Even the estimates from these tables are subject variation due to environmental variation, including age structures of the population which can change the effects of the populations interactions with other species including predators and prey.

Largemouth Bass Lifespan

Answer 4

From Animal Diversity Web :

Largemouth bass live much longer in the wild than they do in captivity. The longest known lifespan of a wild largemouth bass was 23 years. The expected lifespan in the wild, though, is around 15 years. In captivity the longest lifespan recorded was 11 years, while the average age of death in captivity is around 6 years.
