Gar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In American English the name gar (or garpike) is strictly applied to members of the Lepisosteidae, a family including seven living species of fish in two genera that inhabit fresh, brackish, and occasionally marine, waters of eastern North America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands. |
 | | In British English the name gar was originally used for a species of needlefish, Belone belone, found in the North Atlantic. |
 | | Further confusing matters, in both American and British English, some species of halfbeak are sometimes also called gar or garpikes. |
