Mioplosus labracoides is believed to have been a voracious predator among the Green River fish fossils. Failure to find its numbers in mass mortality leads to further conjecture that it was a solitary hunter. A member of the Family Percidae, it has numerous relatives in Northern Hemisphere fresh water. It is known as a predatory species as determined from its many pointed teeth, and the fact that several have been found with fish lodged in its throat.
Distinguishing features include double dorsal fins and a fan-like tail. Mioplosus is uncommon in the Green River formation.
