Abstract
In this paper, the effects of aquatic vegetation on fish species interactions has been reviewed. Predator-prey interaction between largemouth bass (LMB) (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (BLG) (Lepomis macrochirus) has been as an excellent example of understanding the effects of aquatic vegetation on the predator-prey interactions. So the focus has been given on the interactions between those species in order to evaluate a general pattern of aquatic vegetation effects on predator-prey interactions of most fish species. Predatory success of largemouth bass on bluegill can vary with complex habitat, predator and prey body size. Complex habitat affects bluegill distribution and largemouth bass predatory' success. Bluegill can avoid predation risk by hiding itself in complex habitat. Most of the authors agreed that largemouth bass predatory success declined as habitat complexity increased. Thus it can be concluded that aquatic vegetation should be kept an intermediate density so that both interacting species can benefit.
