 | | The American pickerels are two subspecies of Esox americanus, a species of freshwater fish in the pike family (family Esocidae) of order Esociformes: the redfin pickerel, E. |
 | | The redfin pickerel's range extends from the Saint Lawrence drainage in Québec down to the Gulf Coast, from Mississippi to Florida, while the grass pickerel's range is further west, extending from the Great Lakes basin from Ontario to Michigan down to the western Gulf Coast, from eastern Texas to Mississippi. |
 | | The redfin and grass pickerels occur primarily in sluggish, vegetated waters of pools, lakes, and swamps, and are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish. |
