- We present the results of a broad, systematic study of heavy-ion induced fission mass distributions for every even-Z compound nucleus ($Z_\mathrm{CN}$) from $^{144}$Gd to $^{212}$Th. We find systematic evidence of shell-driven structure in every fission mass distribution. The change in shape of the mass distributions with $Z_\mathrm{CN}$ is consistent with the results of quantitative simultaneous fitting in mass and total kinetic energy, demonstrating that fragment proton shell gaps at $Z_\mathrm{FF} = 34, 36$ and $Z_\mathrm{FF} = 44, 46$ are \textit{both} major drivers of fission mass distributions below the actinide region. The mass distributions show enhanced yields at mass symmetry for values of $Z_\mathrm{CN}$ equal to two times these favoured $Z_\mathrm{FF}$ values. Thus, the same shell gaps that are drivers of mass-asymmetric fission also affect mass distributions at and near mass-symmetry. For all systems a second, more mass-asymmetric, fission mode is required to fit the fission mass distributions. If driven by a single shell gap, it appears to be in the light fragment around $Z_\mathrm{FF} = 28, 30$.
