The white perch (Morone americana) is not a true perch but is a fish of the temperate bass family, Moronidae, notable as a food and game fish in eastern North America. In some places it is referred to as "Silver Bass".[citation needed]
The common name "white perch" is sometimes applied to the white crappie (Pomoxis annularis).[3]
