Perca flavescens
Perca flavescens
A yellow perch is a species of fish found in North America, Latin name perca flavescens, with a more strikingly yellow colouring than other perch species.
There are three species of the perch: Percaflavescens (Yellow perch), Perca fluviatilis(European perch) and Perca schrenkii (Balkhash perch).
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Macquaria australasica.
It depends which perch you are talking about. There are many fishes which are commonly called perch. In the United States, perhaps one of the more common true perches is the yellow perch, Perca flavescens, (Family Percidae, Order Perciformes). But there are numerous other perch-like fish within this order, including white perch (Morone americana, actually a type of bass, Family Moronidae), silver perch, (Bairdiella chrysoura, a drum in Family Sciaenidae), and the very large, invasive predatory fish the nile perch, from the Nile River (Lates niloticus, Family Latidae), which grows to over 400 pounds!
True Yellow Perch (perca flavescens) originated in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, especially in the Great Lakes region of the United States. That said, no fish name is more misused on restaurant menus than "perch". If in a restaurant, you see the word "perch" on a menu, and it is clarified as "Ocean Perch", "Rock Perch", "New England Perch", or "White Perch", it is a different, and almost invariably, inferior fish. Look for "Lake Perch", or "Yellow Lake Perch". That's the "Real McCoy".
The scientific name of the Nile perch is Lates niloticus.
