A New Distributional Checklist Of Minnesota Fishes, With Comments On Historical Occurrence, Jay T. Hatch, Konrad P. Schmidt, Dann P. Siems, James C. Underhill, Robert A. Bellig, Richard A. Baker Jan 2003

A New Distributional Checklist Of Minnesota Fishes, With Comments On Historical Occurrence, Jay T. Hatch, Konrad P. Schmidt, Dann P. Siems, James C. Underhill, Robert A. Bellig, Richard A. Baker

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Historical documents, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources stream surveys, and the 66,000 record distributional database of the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History (1879-2002) were used to produce a field-usable checklist of the 160 fish species known from Minnesota waters and waters shared with its boundary states and Canadian provinces. The checklist includes distribution by eight major drainages, the conservation status for each species, and reference to nomenclatural changes over the past 20 years. Fishes are arranged according to the latest interpretations of phylogenetic relationships among species and supraspecific taxa. New distributional information is presented for six species introduced …

Fishery Resource Of The Upper Mississippi River And Relationship To Stream Discharge, William A. Swenson, G. David Hebberling, Daniel J. Orr, Timothy D. Simonson Jan 1989

Fishery Resource Of The Upper Mississippi River And Relationship To Stream Discharge, William A. Swenson, G. David Hebberling, Daniel J. Orr, Timothy D. Simonson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT-Fish population data collected through the Northern States Power Company monitoring program near its plants at Monticello and Becker, Minnesota were analyzed to describe species diversity, changes in recreational fishing, fishing success, and the influence of stream discharge on smallmouth bass year-class success and abundance. The work is part of a more extensive effort to develop a model applicable in managing the upper Mississippi River to meet the growing needs of recreation, agriculture, communities, and industry. Analysis of these data shows 48 species to be present and that smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu~ is the most important game species in the …


Winter Sampling Of Benthic Stream Fishes In Minnesota With A One-Man Net, James E. Erickson Jan 1980

Winter Sampling Of Benthic Stream Fishes In Minnesota With A One-Man Net, James E. Erickson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Newly designed one-man nets were used extensively between 1973 and 1977 to collect fishes in a variety of stream habitats in southeastern Minnesota. They proved to be especially effective In winter sampling of benthic stream fishes such as Etheostome zonale, Etheostome ceeruleum, Percina phoxocephala, Percina shumardi, Percina caprodes, Rhinichthyes cataractae, and Noturus flavus. Effectiveness and potential importance of these one-man nets as winter sampling devices was demonstrated during three consecutive winters of use In the Cannon River at Welch, Goodhue County, Minnesota.


Fish Species, Some Uncommon, Collected From The Lower Minnesota River, Daniel B. Wilcox, Bruce D. Lorenz, Vincent Kranz Jan 1978

Fish Species, Some Uncommon, Collected From The Lower Minnesota River, Daniel B. Wilcox, Bruce D. Lorenz, Vincent Kranz

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Fish collections were made in the lower Minnesota River in the vicinity of the Black Dog Generating Plant and at the intake structure of the plant from April, 1976, to April, 1977 as part of a section 316(b) demonstration study. Composition of the fish community of the area is reported along with notes on several species whose occurrence was considered unusual . New information on the occurrence of river carpsucker (Carpiodes carpio Rafinesque) and river darter (Percina shumardi, Girard) to the Minnesota River is also presented.


Revised Distribution Records Of Some Minnesota Fishes, Craig P. Anderson, James E. Erickson, Jon Ross, James C. Undershill Jan 1977

Revised Distribution Records Of Some Minnesota Fishes, Craig P. Anderson, James E. Erickson, Jon Ross, James C. Undershill

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Recent collections of fishes from Minnesota have resulted in the addition of one species, Fundulus sciadicus (Cyprinodontidae), to the state's inland faunal list. Additional information on the distribution of 12 other species (Notropis topeka, Notropis spilooterus, Ictiobus byprinellus, Carpiodes byprinus, Moxostoma valenciennesi, Notorus flavus, Morone chrysops, Lepomis megalotis, Stizostedion canadense, Percina shumardi, Etheostoma caeruleum, and Cottus bairdi) is presented. These new records are the result of field work in the Missouri River, Red River, and Lake Superior drainage systems of Minnesota.


Fishes Of The Yellow Medicine River In Southwestern Minnesota, Carl H. Ernst Jan 1972

Fishes Of The Yellow Medicine River In Southwestern Minnesota, Carl H. Ernst

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In view of the possible impoundment of the Yellow Medicine River in southwestern Minnesota by a proposed United States Army Corps of Engineers dam, a survey of the fish-fauna of this river was undertaken. The fish-fauna is listed and discussed, as are also the possible effects of the impoundment.
