Physical Description

Family Percidae:

Distribution: Northern Hemisphere. Dorsal fins separate or narrowly joined. Anal spines 1 or 2, the second usually weak. Pelvic fins thoracic. A single spine and 5 soft rays in the pelvic fin. Branchiostegal rays 5-8. Branchiostegal membrane separate from isthmus. Vertebrae 32-50. Largest species to 90 cm maximum length (reported for Stizostedion vitreum), but many, such as Etheostoma tippecanoe, are as little as 5 cm in length. Some species enter estuaries.

The family Percidae belongs to the Class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) and the Order Perciformes. It may be found in brackish and freshwater environments and is primarily freshwater. Members of this family are not used in the aquarium trade. Reproductively, most members of this family are mixed. The main mode of swimming of adult fish in this family is carangiform. Compared with other fish, the activity level of this family tends to be normal. Members of this family have been dated back to the lower Eocene epoch of the Tertiary period. This family may be found from 72° n to 25° s and 130° w to 160° e. Etymology of this family name: Greek, perké = perch
