Percalates
''Macquaria'' is a genus of medium-sized, predatory temperate perches endemic to Australia. They are found in rivers and estuaries of the eastern part of the continent. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * ''Macquaria ambigua'' ( J. Richardson, 1845), commonly known as golden perch or "yellowbelly" * ''Macquaria australasica'' (G. Cuvier, 1830), commonly known as Macquarie perch * ''Macquaria colonorum'' ( Günther, 1863), commonly known as estuary perch * ''Macquaria novemaculeata'' (Steindachner, 1866), commonly known as Australian bass Taxonomy Some workers have found that the genus ''Macquaria'' is polyphyletic and that the two catadromous species ''Macquaria colonorum'' and '' M. novemaculeata'' are not the closest relatives of the other two species in the genus and are placed in the genus ''Percalates'' in the monotypic family Percalatidae These authors also found that the Percichthyidae and the Percalatidae were part of one of three cladea within ...

Australian Bass
The Australian bass (''Macquaria novemaculeata'') is a small- to medium-sized species of primarily freshwater (but estuarine spawning) fish found in coastal rivers and streams along the east coast of Australia. A member of the genus ''Macquaria'' (although some researchers place it in the genus ''Percalates'' instead) from the family Percichthyidae (temperate perches), the Australian bass is an important member of the native fish assemblages found in east coast river systems. It is a native predatory fishHarris JH (1985a). Diet of Australian bass, ''Macquaria novemaculeata'' (Perciformes: Percichthyidae) in the Sydney Basin.

Percichthyidae
The members of the family Percichthyidae are known as the temperate perches. They belong to the order Perciformes, the perch-like fishes. The name Percichthyidae derives from the Latin ''perca'' for perch and Ancient Greek ἰχθύς, ''ichthys'' for fish. Classification The temperate perches are closely related to the temperate basses of the family Moronidae, and older literature treats the latter as belonging to the family Percichthyidae. Australian freshwater percichthyids were once placed in the marine grouper family, Serranidae, and the two families are thought to be closely related. Almost 40 species of percichthyids are now recognised, grouped in 11–12 genera. Most but not all are exclusively freshwater fishes. They are mainly found in Australia, but species are also found in southern South America (''Percichthys''). More recently the Chinese perches have been classified in the separate family Sinipercidae while the genus ''Percilia'' has been found not to be close ...

Estuary Perch
The estuary perch (''Macquaria colonorum'') is a species of temperate perch endemic to south-eastern Australia, where it prefers brackish waters such as lower tidal reaches of coastal lakes, rivers, and streams. Appearance It is very similar to and very closely related to its sister species, the Australian bass, ''Macquaria novemaculeata'', differing in having a slightly more "scooped" forehead and reaching a larger length of . Most individuals only reach around . The greatest recorded weight for a specimen of this species is , there is very little evidence for this, most people assume it was a typo i.e. it was 10 lb and not 10 kg. Reproduction Estuary perch breed in winter at the same time as Australian bass, and are similarly sexually dimorphic, with females larger than males. Females reach sexual maturity at older ages and larger sizes than males. In Victoria, estuary perch/Australian bass hybrids are regularly recorded; most hybrids appear to be reproductively v ...

Career Born and educated in New York City under private tutors, Gill early showed interest in natural history. He was associated with J. Carson Brevoort in the arrangement of the latter's entomological and ichthyological collections before going to Washington D.C. in 1863 to work at the Smithsonian Institution. He catalogued mammals, fishes and mollusks most particularly although maintaining proficiency in other orders of animals.
