Dace Melbarde
A dace is a small fish that can be one of many different species. The unmodified name is usually a reference to the common dace (''Leuciscus leuciscus''). This, like most fish called "daces", belongs to the family Cyprinidae, mostly in subfamily Leuciscinae. Daces in the Cyprinidae: * Common dace, ''Leuciscus leuciscus'' * Chinese mud carp, ''Cirrhinus chinensis'' (called "dace" in Hong Kong) or mud carp (''Cirrhinus molitorella'') * Columbia River dace, ''Ptychocheilus oregonensis'' (a pikeminnow) * Desert dace, ''Eremichthys acros'' (a monotypic genus) * European daces, genus ''Leuciscus'' * Fallfish, ''Semotilus corporalis'' (a creek chub called "dace" in Canada) * Horned dace, ''Semotilus atromaculatus'' (a creek chub) * Japanese dace ''Tribolodon hakonensis'', genus ''Tribolodon'' * Korean splendid dace, ''Coreoleuciscus splendidus'' (a monotypic genus) * Lake Candidus dace, '' Candidia barbatus'' (a monotypic genus) * Mexican daces, genus ''Evarra'' * Moapa dace, ''Moapa c ...

Common Dace
The common dace (''Leuciscus leuciscus'') is a species of freshwater and brackish water ray-finned fish from the family Cyprinidae which is native to Europe but which has been introduced to other parts of the world. It is a quarry species for coarse anglers. Description The common dace differs from other members in the genus ''Leuciscus'' found in Europe by its inferior mouth, slightly longer upper jaw which has the tip of the upper lip level with the centre line of the eye and the lack of an obvious snout. It has a yellowish iris and a body which is covered in large silvery scales, the lateral line having 49–52 scales. The anal fin has a concave margin and the caudal fin is forked. The dorsal fin has 2–3 spines and 7–9 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 8–9 soft rays. The maximum size attained is a total length of . Distribution The common dace is native to Europe and northern Asia where its occurs in the basins of the North Sea, Baltic Sea, White Sea and Bar ...

Mylocheilus Caurinus
''Mylocheilus caurinus'', the peamouth, peamouth chub, redmouth sucker or northwestern dace, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows, that is found in western North America. It is the only species in its genus. Description The peamouth is a slender fish, with a somewhat compressed body and a subterminal mouth, large eyes, a rounded snout and a forked tail. It has a dark back, contrasting with silvery underparts separated by two dusky, longitudinal stripes. The mouth is reddish at the corners where there are small barbels. When breeding the mature males develop a red stripe along the sides on the belly, mouth, gill cover and pectoral fin base. The dorsal fin and the anal fin each have 8 soft rays and the lateral line has 66-84 scales. They can grow to in total length. Distribution The peamouth occurs in western North America from the Mackenzie River in the North West Territories, the Nass River and the Peace River in British ...

Lepidomeda
''Lepidomeda'' is a genus of cyprinid fish, commonly known as the spinedaces, found in western North America. Of the four known species, one is extinct and two are threatened. They appear to be fairly close to the leatherside chub and the spikedaces (genus ''Meda Meda may refer to: Places * Meda de Mouros, a parish in Tábua Municipality, Portugal * Medas, a parish in Gondomar Municipality, Portugal * Meda-Ela, Sri Lanka * Međa (Leskovac), village in the municipality of Leskovac, Serbia * Meda, Lombardy ...''), but the phylogeny and indeed the validity of the proposed "plagopterin" clade is insufficiently resolved.(Simons & Mayden 1997). Species The genus contains these species: * ''Lepidomeda albivallis'' Robert Rush Miller, R. R. Miller & Carl Leavitt Hubbs, C. L. Hubbs, 1960 (White River spinedace) * ''Lepidomeda aliciae'' (Pierre Louis Jouy, Jouy, 1881) southern leatherside chub * ''Lepidomeda copei''(David Starr Jordan, Jordan & Charles Henry Gilbert, Gilbert, 1881) ...

Meda Fulgida
The spikedace (''Meda fulgida'') is an endangered species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Arizona and New Mexico in the United States. It lives in fast-moving streams. Description The maximum length of the spikedace rarely exceeds 7.5 cm. It usually has a slender body, with a somewhat compressed front, and is strongly compressed at the caudal peduncle, with a fairly pointed snout and contains a slightly subterminal mouth with large eyes. The dorsal fin origin is behind the pelvic fin origin. The scales are present only as small, deeply embedded plates. The first spinous ray of the dorsal fin is the strongest and most sharp-pointed. The spikedace has seven dorsal fin-rays and typically 9 anal fin-rays. The spikedace skin is olive-gray to light brown above, with a brilliant silver side, often with blue reflections, and with black specks and blotches on the back and upper side. The breeding male has a spectacular, bright, brassy yellow head and fins. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhinichthys
''Rhinichthys'', known as the riffle daces, is a genus of freshwater fish in the carp family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes. The type species is ''Rhinichthys atratulus'', the blacknose dace. ''Rhinichthys'' species range throughout North America. The genus contains eight living species, one of which (the loach minnow) is considered Vulnerable. It also includes the extinct Las Vegas dace, which was only first described in 1984 and had disappeared by 1986. The cheat minnow (''Pararhinichthys bowersi''), a natural hybrid of the longnose dace (''R. cataractae'') and the river chub (''Nocomis micropogon''), was formerly placed in this genus, but is now valid under ''Pararhinichthys''. The riffle daces are a basal lineage in an insufficiently resolved clade of American Leuciscinae. Such a group had been proposed on anatomical evidence, and was verified using mtDNA 12S rRNA sequences.(Simons & Mayden 1997) Species * ''Rhinichthys atratulus'' ( Hermann, 1804) (Eastern b ...

Relictus Solitarius
The relict dace (''Relictus solitarius'') is a cyprinid fish of the Great Basin of western North America. It is the sole member of its genus. Relict dace coloration is variable, but generally dusky overall, with olive and brassy shades dorsally. An obvious speckling pattern with patches ranging from brown to green, and yellowish narrow stripes appear on the back and belly. Lower fins are often yellow, and may be a bright golden shade. The oblique mouth is terminal, and lacks horny cutting edges. The fins are rather small and rounded, with the pelvic fins being especially notable for their paddle shape. The variations on the basic cyprinid plan seem to be characteristic of desert fishes evolving in isolation, with the body adapting for midwater swimming in quiet water. The relict dace occurs in only a handful of habitats in eastern Nevada, all of which were once covered by the prehistoric Lake Lahontan Lake Lahontan was a large endorheic Pleistocene lake of modern northwester ...

Clinostomus Funduloides
The rosyside dace (''Clinostomus funduloides'') is a species of cyprinid fish. This fish is about 11 centimeters long. The lower parts of its sides are red, giving rise to its name, and the upper parts of its sides are dark green. The rosyside dace is native to parts of the southeastern and eastern United States, including the Delaware River drainage, the Savannah River drainage, and the Ohio River basin. It is thought to have been introduced in western Virginia. USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database, Gainesville, FL. 2013. References External links *FishBase

Redside Dace
The redside dace (''Clinostomus elongatus'') is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae, found in the United States and Canada. It is unique among minnows, being the only species to routinely feed on flying insects by leaping from water. Thus, it acts as a conduit for nutrient transfers between terrestrial and aquatic environments. The species can be used as an ecosystem health indicator, as it is sensitive to environmental disturbances. Taxonomy American naturalist Jared Potter Kirtland described the redside dace in 1840. Distribution United States The species is most abundant in Pennsylvania, especially in the upper parts of the Susquehanna River drainage. It is also found in the streams of all the Great Lakes, as well as in the Ohio River and the upper parts of the Mississippi River drainage. Canada The distribution of redside dace is mainly limited to Southern Ontario, the Two Tree River on the St. Joseph Island being the only exception. Most populations hav ...

Phoxinus
''Phoxinus'' is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Leuciscidae of order Cypriniformes, and the only members of the subfamily Phoxininae, or Eurasian minnows. The type species is ''Phoxinus phoxinus''. The other species in this genus are also commonly known as minnows. The name "minnow" was what early English fisherman used to describe "small and insignificant". The genus ''Phoxinus'' is found throughout Eurasia, and includes 21 known species. Previously, members of the North American genus ''Chrosomus'' were also believed to form part of this genus.Strange, R.M. & Mayden, R.L.
