Daryk Campbell Sr Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Wonder if it was one of the first to be named. Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Latin names, common names and all that stuff. Funny throughout history known and unknown deferent names from prehistoric to historic man I bet there were many, many common names given to flora and fauna.

Don't know when it was named, but the name reflects the common name or vice versa - Percina macrocephala (macro - large, cephala - head or associated to the head). Related to logperch and ozark logperch found in MO and AR. @BilletHead I saw a similar or the same article on a different feed. This species seems to be a big river species based upon the collections that are on Fishmap.org. So it is very likely to be missed on many surveys. Even with that this it is still considered to be a species of concern or imperiled across its range. I think that is it a pretty cool fish. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
tjm Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Seem to be a zillion Ozark Log perch in the Elk drainage, but you'd never see one if you weren't kinda looking for it.
