Percina aurora és una espècie de peix de la família dels pèrcids i de l'ordre dels perciformes.[4]
Hàbitat
És un peix d'aigua dolça, bentopelàgic i de clima tropical.[5]
Distribució geogràfica
Es troba a Nord-amèrica: la seua distribució històrica incloïa les conques dels rius Pearl i Pascagoula[6][7][8] a Mississippí[9] i Louisiana,[10] però ara és absent del riu Pearl.[11][5]
Estat de conservació
Les seues principals amenaces són la degradació del seu hàbitat, les activitats mineres[12][13][14] i agrícoles, la contaminació i la seua escassa distribució geogràfica (al voltant dels 200 km²).[15][16][17]
