The white crappie (Pomoxis annularis) is a freshwater fish found in North America, one of the two species of crappies.[3] Alternate common names for the species include goldring, silver perch,[4] white perch and sac-a-lait.[3] USS Goldring is named for the fish. The genus name Pomoxis refers to crappies' sharp operculum, while the species name annularis means 'having rings', i.e., it has vaguely vertical bars on the body.[5]
