US State Fish

Can you name the official fishes of the United States, including both fresh and saltwater species?

Yes, "fishes" is the correct syntax in this context, as it refers to multiple types.

Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio lack state fish. Also, for clarification, "anadromeus" means that the fish routinely moves from fresh to salt water and back.
