bowfin
cavefish/swampfish
pirate perch
trout perch /sand roller
pygmy sunfish

sorry about no latin names, but I can't remember them all off the top of my
head.
these I am sure have representatives in other Continents
lampreyes
sturgeon
paddlefish
eels
mooneyes
minnows (true)
trouts/saloms
burbot (cod)
pike./mudminnows
sticklebacks
killifish

answers, i hope I didnt forget anyone =)
