	Umbridae Umbridae is a family of fish in the order Esociformes, which contains pike, pickerel, and mudminnows. The single living genus, ''Umbra'', occupies weed-choked freshwater habitats in eastern North America and eastern Europe. While the family traditionally contained the genera ''Umbra'', '' Novumbra'', and ''Dallia'', recent genetic and paleontological research have recovered this grouping as paraphyletic, with ''Novumbra'' and ''Dallia'' being moved to the family Esocidae. Distribution Umbridae contains three extant species, all within the genus ''Umbra'': ''Umbra pygmaea'', ''Umbra limi'', and ''Umbra krameri''. ''U. pygmaea'' can be found across the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. ''U. limi'' ranges throughout the Great Lakes region and Mississippi River basin of North America. ''U. krameri'' can be found in the Danube and Dniester River basins of Europe. ''Umbra ''spp. are most commonly found in the Atlantic coast regions of North America, along the marshy, l ...

	Central Mudminnow The central mudminnow (''Umbra limi'') is a small fish in the family Umbridae of the order Esociformes. It is found in central and eastern North America North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Car ... in productive waters. It is fairly tolerant of low oxygen concentrations and, as a result, it is sometimes the only, or one of a very few, fish species present in waters susceptible to winter or summer kill. Description The central mudminnow lives in slow-moving water around ponds, lakes, and streams in central North America, and ranges in length from 51–102 mm. It burrows tail-first in mud and can tolerate low oxygen levels, allowing it to live in waterways unavailable to other fishes. Its coloration matches this habitat, being brownish above with mottled sides and a p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
