Goldeyes are a freshwater fish found in Canada and the northern United States. They are one of only two remaining species in the family ''Hiodontidae'' the other species being the mooneye or ''Hiodon tergisus''.〔Lawrence M Page, Brooks M. Burr. 2011. Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of North America North or Mexica. New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. p. 144.〕 The scientific name means shad-like (''alosoides'') toothed hyoid (''Hiodon'', or mooneye family). It is also called Winnipeg goldeye, western goldeye, yellow herring, toothed herring, shad mooneye, la Queche, weepicheesis, or ''laquaiche aux yeux d’or'' in French.〔
==Morphology==
Goldeyes are recognizable by their silver compressed body form and their large gold eyes. Their body appears to be a blue-green silver from above and a more white silver from below.〔 They have two abdominal and pelvic fins as well as a dorsal on their back and an anal fin on their underside. The dorsal fin is positioned opposite or behind the origin of the anal fin. Goldeyes also have a fleshy keel that extends from the pectoral fins to the base of the anal fin.〔 Their mouth is large and in the terminal position with a blunt round snout. The Goldeye fish has cycloid scales that lack spines. They also have a sensory system known as the lateral line system.〔 Adults are usually about 15-17 inches but can reach 20 inches. Goldeyes typically weigh only 1-2 pounds.〔ODNR Division of Wildlife. c2012. Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
