The redfin pickerel (Esox americanus americanus) is a subspecies of freshwater fish belonging to the pike family of the order Esociformes. Not to be confused with its close relatives, the grass pickerel and the chain pickerel , this fish is unique in the fact that it has brightly colored red fins. [ 2 ]
The former's fins have dark leading edges and amber to dusky coloration. In addition, the light areas between the dark bands are generally wider on the grass pickerel and narrower on the redfin pickerel. Record size grass and redfin pickerels can weigh around 2 pounds (0.91 kg) [3] and reach lengths of around 13 inches (33 cm). [4]

A young E. lucius specimen — a "chain pickerel" in the original sense — in an aquarium.. The generic name Esox (pike fish) derives from the Greek ἴσοξ (ee-soks, a large fish) and appears to be cognate with Celtic, Welsh eog and Irish Gaelic iasc (fish), as well as alpine Gaulic *esosk which is consistent with the original indoeuropean root for the common word for fish, *pei(k)sk.
The chain pickerel has a distinctive, dark, chain-like pattern on its greenish sides. There is a vertical dark marking underneath the eye, which helps to distinguish the chain pickerel from redfin pickerel (Esox americanus americanus) and grass pickerel (E. americanus vermiculatus), in which the mark curves posteriorly.
