The fallfish (Semotilus corporalis) is a North American freshwater fish, a chub in the family Cyprinidae. The fallfish is the largest minnow species native to Eastern North America.
Across all ages, pools are the preferred habitat. Fallfish live and forage in areas of the watershed that are around 30-50 cm deep. Fallfish in northern parts of their geographic ranges also live in lentic habits (lakes), while those in the south are restricted to lotic habitats.
