THE SILVERSIDES. FAMILY ATHERINIDAE GREEN SMELT; SAND SMELT; WHITE-BAIT; CAPELIN; SPERLING; SHINER Figure 159.—Silverside ( ), Connecticut. From Goode. Drawing by H. L. Todd. This silvery little fish is often confused with the young smelt, but it does not require very close examination to tell them apart for the adipose fin characteristic of the smelt is lacking in the silverside, while the latter has a spiny dorsal fin as well as a soft dorsal fin instead of the one soft dorsal only, as the smelt does; this last character distinguishes it equally from young herrings; its anal fin too is much longer than that of the smelt.
