Perch question

[D Dawis]

Anyone know the scientific name of the perch many of you guys know and love? Just trying to get an idea of your fish - We have perch in my area, but I know they are different. Perch in my area are formally called yellow perch and in scientific lingo Perca flavescens and is closely related to the walleye/sauger/zander. Our perch are usually small, a 3/4 lb - 1 lb perch being referred to as a "jumbo" perch.
