The yellow perch is found in the eastern United States, chiefly northward and eastward. Jt is abundant in the Great Lakes and in the larger coastwise streams and lakes from Nova Scotia to North Carolina; also in most of the small lakes in the upper Mississippi Valley, especially in northern Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. It is found in some of the streams of this re- gion, but it is by preference a lake fish. It is not known from the Ohio River, nor from the lower Missouri. In most of the New Eng- land lakes and those of New York it is an abundant and well- known fish. 365.
