Range and Identity
Morone americana is retained as the scientific identity. Native Atlantic records and introductions to inland waters should remain distinct. The common name does not make the fish a member of the same genus as Yellow Perch, and their size or life-history accounts should not be combined.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults use quiet muddy freshwater and brackish coastal settings in the checked compilation. The actual salinity and location are useful details for a record. A freshwater capture alone does not establish that the population has no coastal connection or that all populations behave alike.
Food and Life History
The upper references are fifty-eight centimeters total length and 2.7 kilograms. A detailed feeding list is not established in the short material checked. Reproductive details explicitly inferred from Striped Bass are not converted into verified species-specific observations here.
Field Note
Keep the scientific name with an unusual catch or size claim. White Bass, White Perch and Yellow Perch are separately identified fishes, even where anglers use abbreviated or locally variable names.
