Logperches are a group of ray-finned fish in the genus Percina of the family Percidae. There are 11 species of logperch, native to eastern parts of the United States and Canada. The fish inhabit clear, gravelly streams and lakes. Percina caprodes is the most widespread of the species; some of the species with more restricted distribution are threatened in various ways. Due to their small size, the fish are not normally harvested for food. Habitat alteration and inappropriate land use practices are the most common population stressors.
