Yellow perch
Carl Linnaeus described the Western Atlantic seabream in the 1758 edition of "Systema Naturae". It was originally placed in "Perca", a genus currently containing three species of freshwater fishes, such as the Yellow perch and European perch. It was later moved to the genus "Archosargus". The German naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch described this species in his work, "Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische" (General Natural History of Fishes), under the name "Archosargus unimaculatus" in 1792, which is now considered an "ambiguous synonym".
