Physical 

The silver perch has a silvery body that’s green or blue-tinted on the back and shifts to yellow toward the belly. Adults grow up to 9 in (22.9 cm). While it closely resembles the white perch, it can be distinguished by its yellow-tinted fins and somewhat pointed tail.

Habitat

Their native range spans from New York to Florida and down to northern Mexico. They live mostly inshore, with a preference for sandy and muddy bottoms. They will migrate to deeper water in the winter.

Feeding 

Silver perch feed on crustaceans, worms, and smaller fishes.
