Emerald shiner Species of fish

The emerald shiner is one of hundreds of small, silvery, slender fish species known as shiners. The identifying characteristic of the emerald shiner is the silvery emerald color on its sides. It can grow to 3.5 inches in length and is found across North America from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, commonly in large, deep lakes and rivers, though sometimes in smaller bodies of water as well. It feeds on small organisms such as zooplankton and insects, congregating in large groups near the surface of the water. It is a quite common fish and is often used as a bait fish.

Telescope shiner Species of fish

The telescope shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. Notropis telescopus is primarily found in a small range of waters located in the Southeastern Region of the United States. There is very little published record of the research and management involving the telescope shiner. The following research will provide information on this species that can be helpful toward monitoring efforts of Notropis telescopus populations. The primary population of telescope shiners occurs throughout drainages of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. This population is distributed throughout Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. A second known population occurs in Arkansas and Missouri and is found in the White and Black river systems.

<i>Notropis</i> Genus of fishes

Notropis is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are known commonly as eastern shiners. They are native to North America, and are the continent's second largest genus.

The Durango shiner is an extinct species of freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. It was found only in Mexico. No essential further information on this species is given in the standard references of FishBase and IUCN Red List. The Durango shiner was native to the Rio Tunal, which forms the headwaters of the San Pedro Mezquital River, a Pacific slope river rising near Durango City, Durango, Mexico. It was taken there only in 1951 and 1961. Its closest relatives were the yellow shiner and the Ameca shiner.

The Cahaba shiner is a rare species of cyprinid fish. It is endemic to Alabama in the United States, where it is limited to the Cahaba River. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

Highfin shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the lower Roanoke River drainage from southeastern Virginia, south in Piedmont and Coastal Plain areas to the middle Savannah River drainage in South Carolina.

The fluvial shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in the Mobile Bay drainage in Alabama and Mississippi, mostly in main channels of Tombigbee, Black Warrior, Cahaba, and Alabama rivers, almost exclusively below the Fall Line.

Arkansas River shiner Species of fish

The Arkansas River shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is native to part of the central United States. Historically this shiner was widespread and abundant throughout the western portions of the Arkansas River basin in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. It is extirpated from the River in Kansas and Oklahoma. Recently, the species was almost entirely confined to about 820 km of the Canadian River in Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico, but it has been introduced and is now widely established in Pecos River in New Mexico.

Mimic shiner Species of fish

The mimic shiner is a species of North American cyprinid freshwater fish in the genus Notropis. The genus Notropis is commonly known as the eastern shiners. It is native to areas of the Hudson Bay drainage, Great Lakes drainage, much of the Mississippi River basin including areas of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and regions of the Gulf of Mexico extending from Mobile Bay to the drainage of Texas. However, this particular species can be found in other places such as the Atlantic Coast drainage in Connecticut and Housatonic rivers. This genus is usually characterized by almost all having a complete lateral line, 8 dorsal fin rays, a premaxillae protactile, and a silvery or speckled peritoneum. As the common name indicates, this species is difficult to classify in the wild because it looks similar to many other shiners. In fact, some even hypothesize that this species is actually a complexity of many cryptic species. While this is the case, it is important to take more caution to not misidentify this species and to understand its impact on introduced areas.

The channel shiner is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is endemic to the United States where it is widespread in the Mississippi River basin, including the Missouri, Ohio, Arkansas, and Tennessee rivers and the lower portions of their tributaries.

Ghost shiner Species of fish

The ghost shiner is a North American species of freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. It is generally characterized as being a small bodied, silvery and fusiform shaped cyprinid. Notropis buchanani is morphologically similar to and often mistaken for the Mimic Shiner, which is evident by its former classification as a subspecies of Notropis volucellus.

The Ameca shiner is a species of cyprinid fish in the family Cyprinidae. The Ameca shiner was described in 1986 from upper parts of the Ameca River drainage in Jalisco, Mexico. Although already feared extinct by 1969, and listed as such by the IUCN when rated in 1996, a tiny population was rediscovered in 2001. Some were brought into captivity to form the basis of a breeding program. These have been used for a reintroduction project since 2015.
