Indiana Species April 2007
Fishes of Indiana April 2007 The Wildlife Diversity Section (WDS) is responsible for the conservation and management of over 750 species of nongame and endangered wildlife. The list of Indiana's species was compiled by WDS biologists based on accepted taxonomic standards. The list will be periodically reviewed and updated. References used for scientific names are included at the bottom of this list.

Minnesota River Flood Plain Lakes Report
Minnesota F-29-R(P)-26 Area F314 Study 4 Job 764 March 16, 2007 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE SECTION OF FISHERIES Completion Report Fish Communities of Minnesota River Flood Plain Lakes By Konrad Schmidt MN-DNR Ecological Services and Taylor Polomis MN-DNR West Metro Area Fisheries Office Funded Under Federal Aid by the Sport Fish Restoration Act, F-29-R(P)-26 FISH COMMUNITIES OF MINNESOTA RIVER FLOOD PLAIN LAKES Yellow Lotus Horseshoe Lake (Carver County, MN) Konrad Schmidt & Taylor Polomis Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Ecological Services March 16, 2007 2 Introduction For approximately 50 miles, from Belle Plaine to the mouth of the Minnesota River, several lakes and wetlands dot the flood plain that includes portions of Carver, Dakota, Hennepin and Scott counties (Appendix X). Most of this river reach’s adjacent shorelands are large undeveloped tracts of public lands that include Fort Snelling State Park, Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area and Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. In most cases, these flood plain lakes have no or very primitive watercraft access. Some of these waters are accessible only via hiking trails or from watercraft on the Minnesota River. Because of these waters’ remoteness, inaccessibility, or shallowness, their fish communities are rarely, if ever, surveyed. In 2006, fish were sampled in 21 flood plain lakes to establish baseline data on community composition, species occurrence and relative abundance. Methods and Materials Using multiple sampling gears, surveys were conducted from mid-May to mid-September 2006. The waters were initially sampled with electrofishing (backpack and boat shockers), gill nets, trap nets, minnow traps and seines. -

ALLUM South Dakota State College ANN ARBOR MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN JUNE 5, 1962 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY 01; MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and indi- viduals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum tech- niques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A conlplete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

(May 2014) Christopher Rae Hemingson Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Kevin W. Conway Ph.D. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences The identification of larval fishes is difficult due to their small size and transparent nature. Deciphering between different species placed within the same genus or even family can prove near impossible. Literature currently available on larval fish is focused predominantly on marine species and little information is available that would aid the identification of the larval stages of freshwater species, particularly in the state of Texas. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive photographic atlas to the larval stages of the Bullhead minnow (Pimephales vigilax). This guide will facilitate the identification of the larval stages of this common species of minnow throughout Texas (and other states) and will contribute to our knowledge of the larvae of freshwater fishes in general. -
