  • SPORT FISH of OHIO Identification DIVISION of WILDLIFE
    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

A string of successful projects, from the opening of the St. Croix fishway to the renewal of commercial fishing on Card Mill Stream in Franklin, have fueled growing momentum for restoration of rivers and streams, big and small. This report is an update on the status of river herring runs in eastern Maine. It describes the value of river herring and some of the many projects underway to allow river herring to swim upstream to their spawning habitat. Because river herring are a keystone species in freshwater and marine systems—and are so responsive to restoration efforts—they have become a focus of the Downeast Fisheries Partnership effort to restore fisheries in eastern Maine.

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

  • Sebasticook Lake
    SEBASTICOOK LAKE TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY (ANNUAL) LOAD Final Report DEPLW 2000 - 110 Maine Department of Environmental Protection 8 February 2001 Maine Lake TMDLs - What, Why, Where, and When? You are no doubt wondering what the acronym 'TMDL' represents and what it is all about. TMDL is actually short for 'Total Maximum Daily Load.' This acknowledgment probably does little to clarify TMDLs in most people's minds. However, replace 'daily' with 'annual' and insert 'phosphorus' before 'load' and it may begin to make more sense to more people. Simply stated, excess nutrients (such as phosphorus) in lakes promote nuisance algae growth/blooms - resulting in the violation of water quality standards. A TMDL is prepared to estimate the total amount of dissolved phosphorus that a lake can accept (annually) without harming water quality. Historically, development of TMDLs was first mandated by the Clean Water Act in 1972 - and was applied primarily to point sources of water pollution. As a result of public pressure to further clean-up water bodies - lake and stream TMDLs are now being prepared for Non-Point Sources (NPS) of water pollution. Nutrient enrichment of lakes through excess total phosphorus originating from watershed soil erosion has been generally recognized as the primary source of NPS pollution. Major land use activities contributing to the phosphorus load in lakes include residential-commercial developments, agriculture, roadways, and commercial forestry. Statewide, there are approximately 35 lakes which do not meet water quality standards due to excessive amounts of total phosphorus. The first Maine lake TMDL was developed (1995) for Cobbossee Lake by the Cobbossee Watershed District (CWD) - under contract with ME-DEP and US-EPA.
