The golden perch, Macquaria ambigua, is a medium-sized, yellow or gold-coloured Australian freshwater fish species found primarily in the Murray-Darling River system, though a subspecies is found in the Lake Eyre- Cooper Creek system, and another subspecies, suspected to be ancestral to all other populations, is found in the Fitzroy River system in Queensland. Golden perch are not a true perch of the genus Perca, but a member of the Percichthyidae (temperate perches) family.
This relatively widespread and widely stocked species is an important angling fish in Australia.
Other common names for golden perch are "goldens", “yellowbelly”, and "callop", the last generally used only in South Australia.
