DACE

Picture of Dace

The Dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) is a fresh water fish of the carp family (Cyprinidae). They are found in fast-flowing streams and lakes, often forming shoals. The dace resembles the roach but is longer and thinner. It is a gregarious fish inhabiting chiefly deep clear streams with a gentle current. It seldom exceeds a pound in weight.
