It lives an entirely aquatic lifestyle in parts of North America in lakes, rivers, and ponds. It goes through paedomorphosis and retains its external gills .

The pond also is home to various species of crab (pāpaʻi), shrimp (ʻōpae), and eel (puhi). [1] When they are small enough, fish enter the fishpond via the sluice gates to feed on phytoplankton and limu. [5] They then remain within it because of the abundance of food and become too large to get back into Kāneʻohe Bay via the sluice gates. [5]
[3] [4] The average depth of a raceway for fin fish, such as rainbow trout, is about one metre. [17] This means each section in a raceway should be about 30 m long and 2.5–3 m wide. The landscape should sloped to one or two percent, so the flow through the system can be maintained by gravity.
The golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) is a cyprinid fish native to eastern North America. It is the sole member of its genus.
