Nativeness Notes
Yellow perch are native to the northern states east of the Rocky Mountains, and Atlantic Coastal drainages south to South Carolina. Yellow perch were native to Tennessee during cooler times, as their bones appear in late Pleistocene deposits (12,000-16,000 years ago). They have been widely introduced elsewhere, often accidentally, as appears to be the case in Tennessee.
