About 200 species of fish in the minnow family are native to North America, with about 100 of them included in a single genus, Notropis, most of which are commonly called shiners. Minnows native to North America are all small species, while several larger, Eurasian species have been introduced to North America and now occur in self-sustaining populations.
The most widespread native species is the common or silver shiner (Notropis cornutus), which is virtually ubiquitous in many surface waters east of the Mississippi in the United States and is also widespread in eastern Canada. This species is important as a forage fish, and as a baitfish.
The pearl or northern dace (Semotilus margarita) is a widespread species that is especially important in brown-colored, boggy waters. The fallfish (S. corporalis) occurs in northeastern North America, and can grow as large as 18 in (45 cm), and is sometimes eaten by people.
The golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) occurs throughout the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay drainage, and is an important forage fish and common baitfish. The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) has a similar distribdistribution and is also used as a baitfish.
