A golden shiner observed in the Mullica River, New Jersey. Though it has been known to reach lengths of 30 cm (12 in), in the wild the golden shiner is usually between 7.5 and 12.5 cm (3.0 and 4.9 in) long. The body is laterally compressed (deep-bodied). The back is dark green or olive, and the belly is a silvery white.
The common shiner is silvery colored (sometimes bronze) and has an "olive back with a dark dorsal stripe." [3] The common shiner is a freshwater fish found in North America. Adults inhabit rocky pools in small to medium rivers. They can live to be approximately 6 years old. [4] They are considered sexually mature by 7.4 centimetres (2.9 in). [4]
Occasionally, they eat small fish, but these are only a minor item in their general diet. [2] The sexually mature American shad enter coastal rivers in spring or early summer, usually when the river water has warmed to 10 to 13 °C (50 to 55 °F). Cooler water appears to interrupt the spawn.
Shiner is a common name used in North America for any of several kinds of small, usually silvery fish, in particular a number of cyprinids, but also e.g. the shiner perch (Cymatogaster aggregata). Cyprinid shiners are: Eastern shiners, genus Notropis; Finescale shiners, genus Lythrurus; Flagfin shiners, genus Pteronotropis
The River shiner usually has a diet that consists of invertebrates and terrestrial insects. River shiners are a typical length of 3–4 inches but can reach a length of 5 inches. [46] LC Found in the Hudson Bay and Mississippi River basins. Drainages include the Lake Michigan and Red River drainages. Golden shiner: Notemigonus crysoleucas
Smaller golden shiners appear more willing than larger ones to be near the front of the shoal, perhaps because they are hungrier. [85] Observations on the common roach have shown that food-deprived individuals tend to be at the front of a shoal, where they obtain more food [86] [87] but where they may also be more vulnerable to ambush predators ...
The Ocean Park fire that destroyed Fraser's Million Dollar Pier was discovered between 4:45 and 4:55 p.m. [38] on the evening of Tuesday, September 3, 1912, in the Coney Island chowder house in the Casino building. [3] [22] [39] [40] [38] The cause was possibly a defective flue, [41] or possibly a poorly extinguished cigarette. [42]
All of these features make them look much like the golden shiner. The hitch is closely related to the California roach (Hesperoleucus symmetricus complex), and these taxa can hybridize with each other. [7] Hitch are omnivores of the open water, eating a combination of filamentous algae, insects, and zooplankton. They can be found in lakes ...
