More specifically, the genus as a whole is known as roughbelly darters, while certain species of ''Percina'' displaying vertical bars on their flanks are called logperches. Species There are currently 49 recognized species in this genus: * '' Percina antesella'' J. D. Williams & Etnier, 1978 (Amber darter) * '' Percina apristis'' C. L.

Percina Caprodes
The common logperch (''Percina caprodes''), sometimes simply known as the logperch, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. Like other logperches, it has the typical vertical barring along the flank and a subterminal mouth. This is the most widespread logperch, commonly found in large parts of the eastern United States and Canada. Like other logperches, they inhabit clear, gravelly streams and lakes, reaching a maximum size of about and a maximum age of about 3 years. They play a key role in the reproduction of the snuffbox mussel (''Epioblasma triquetra''). Abstract The common logperch is a darter species naturally occurring as far north as the St. Lawrence River in Canada, as far west as the Great Lakes, and south throughout the Mississippi River down to the Rio Grande. The common logperch is also found as far west as California, where it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
