Labidesthes vanhyningi, the golden silverside, is a species of Neotropical silverside from North America. This is a pelagic and neritic freshwater fish which is found in river systems draining into the Gulf of Mexico from the Neches River to southern Florida.[1] It was described by Barton A. Bean and Earl D.
