Yellow perch occur in all major drainages of Minnesota. They live in both lakes and streams, including Lake Superior and the trout streams of the North Shore. Yellow perch are more abundant in lakes and backwaters of large rivers than they are in swift-flowing streams.
The general body type of a perch is somewhat long and rounded. True perch have rough or ctenoid scales. On the anterior side of the head are the maxilla and lower mandible for the mouth, a pair of nostrils, and two lidless eyes. In northern areas, it is sometimes referred to as the lake perch. 2  This species is prized for its food quality and has often been raised in hatcheries and introduced into areas in which it is not native. 3  Yellow perch are almost identical in appearance to European perch, but have a more yellow coloring.
