Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...fish at the Lake of the Woods, say: "Although an excellent food fish and extensively utilized at Winnipeg, it is not much used at this lake. Smoked, it is really delicious, and as a pan fish it is excellent." It is taken in the Mississippi River at Homer, but is rare there (Surber, 1915). The State Fisheries at Red Lake, for the period ending January 1, 1919, produced 67,552 pounds; at the present time the fishermen get 5 cents per pound. The moon-eyes are handsome silvery fishes, with very large eyes, the present species attaining a length of 12 inches. This species may be known from the next (Hiodon tergisus) by the character of the belly in front of the ventral fins having a sharp ridge along the middle line (carinate), while the dorsal fin, inserted behind ventrals, has but 8 developed rays. "It lives mainly on both terrestrial and acquatic insects, mollusks, and small minnows." (alosoides, formed like a shad) MOONEYE. TOOTHED HERRING. SILVER BASS. 62. Hiodon tergisus Le Sueur. Evermann and Latimer (1910) state this species is probably less common than the preceding at the Lake of the Woods. Professor Cox (1897) reports it as common from the Mississippi, Red River of the North and Red Lake River, and it is, therefore, suspected to be the most common form in Red Lake. Wagner (1908) records it as very common at Lake Pepin in 1903-04. It is not valued as a food fish, though attaining possibly a greater weight than A. alosoides. The belly is scarcely keeled before ventral fin, but has a distinct ridge between that fin and the anal; the developed dorsal rays are 12 in number, instead of 9 as in the preceding. In food habits it closely approximates the preceding, (tergisus. polished) Family DOROSOMIDAE. The Gizzard Shad Genus DOROSOMA Rafi...
