Item Includes: 1 vacuum-sealed preserved Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
Shipping: Free shipping included
The Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) is a classic freshwater species used in classrooms and laboratories to teach vertebrate anatomy, fish physiology, and freshwater ecology. Its distinct vertical stripes, spiny dorsal fins, and laterally compressed body make it a model organism for comparative anatomical study and ecological education.
Perfect for dissection, museum displays, or homeschool science kits, this specimen allows students to explore internal and external structures such as the swim bladder, gills, fin rays, and reproductive systems. Each fish is carefully preserved to maintain anatomical integrity for both classroom and research use.
Freshwater Fish Anatomy: Examine the fins, scales, operculum, swim bladder, and internal organs.
Comparative Study: Excellent for comparing anatomy between freshwater and marine fish species.
Distinctive Traits: Recognizable by vertical body stripes and spiny dorsal fins, ideal for species identification and morphological analysis.
Classroom-Ready: Each specimen (5–7”) is formalin-preserved, vacuum-sealed, and ready for immediate use.
Sustainably Collected: Responsibly sourced from the Gulf of Maine region by Gulf of Maine, Inc.
Common name: Yellow perch
Scientific name: Perca flavescens
Locations: Freshwater rivers and lakes of the Gulf of Maine watershed
Seasonality: Available year-round
Colors: Yellow with dark vertical stripes
Size: 5–7”
Collected: By hand or trap
Quantity: Sold by the each
Note: This is a preserved freshwater fish specimen. Natural variations in size, color, and appearance from photos should be expected.
