Western Atlantic smelt, Osmerus eperlanus mordax (Mitchill) and its landlocked forms / by A.D. Bajkov.: Fs52-3/201BE-PDF

"After a comparison of this fish with the European smelt we conclude that these two forms cannot be separated as different species. Smitt (1895) and Berg (1932), also do not distinguish American smelt as a separate species from the European one. So it is suggested that the American form should be called Osmerus eperlanus mordax (Mitchill). This fish possesses some intermediate characters between the European Osmerus eperlanus and the Pacific Osmerus eperlanus dentex"--Page 2.
