green sucker fish

The green sucker is a non-game fish native to western North America. For years, populations of green suckers where considered to be bluehead suckers due to their similar appearance.

It’s almost impossible to visually distinguish between bluehead and green suckers. However, genetic (DNA) testing confirmed differences and the green sucker was identified as a separate species.
