The 1975 Florida legislature adopted a bill that became Chapter 15.036 of the Florida Statutes, designating the Florida bass (Micropterus salmoides floridanus) as the official State Freshwater Fish. Florida adopted the Atlantic Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) in 1975 as the state's Saltwater Fish.
