and the last word on GOUJONS.

However it seems unlikely to me that
what, in the UK, we refer to as a
Gudgeon ( Gobio gobio ), the freshwater
fish found in lakes, canals, etc. which
resembles a dace (Leuciscus leuciscus),
(and often mistaken for one ?)

Gudgeon resembling Dace?

The colouring is very differnet & Dace don't have the barbels and under
slung mouth that Gudgeon have.
I fail to see how the 2 are confused.
