Etymology: Percopsis: Greek, perke = perch + Greek, opsis = appearance (Ref. 45335); omiscomaycus: omiscomaycus which is probably an Algonkian Indian name that includes the root 'trout' (Ref. 1998).

परिपक्व अवधि: Lm 11.4, range 8 - 15.4 cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 5723); common length : 8.8 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 12193); अधिकतम सूचित उम्र: 4 वर्षो (Ref. 10348)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 1 - 3; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 9 - 11; गुदा कांटा: 1; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 5 - 9; जानवरों की रीड़ का जोड़: 33 - 36. Distinguished by the presence of an adipose fin; small weak spines in the dorsal and anal spines; rough ctenoid scales; and pectoral fins reaching well behind the bases of pelvic fins (Ref. 27547). Gill rakers short, stubby mounds with small teeth; lateral line nearly straight (Ref. 27547). Pale yellowish to silvery, often almost transparent; with a row of about 10 dark spots along midline of back, 10 or 11 spots along lateral line, and another row of spots high on sides above lateral line; fins transparent (Ref. 27547).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs in lakes, deep flowing pools of creeks, and rivers (Ref. 5723). Usually found over sand (Ref. 5723). Moves into the shallows of lakes at night to feed and moves back to deeper water as dawn approaches (Ref. 1998). Feeds on insect larvae, amphipods and fishes (Ref. 1998). Important forage fish (Ref. 1998).
Spawning adults move inshore to shallow water or into shallow tributaries of lakes (Ref. 10348). Two or more males cluster with a single female near the surface. They press close to the female, often breaking the surface of the water, and eggs and milt are released (Ref. 27547). Some populations spawn exclusively at night (Ref. 10348), but others show no variation from daytime spawning (Ref. 10349). There is often, perhaps usually, heavy postspawning mortality (Ref. 27547).
