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.

Buffalo, NY. 45 pp. Thursday February 2, 2017 Keynote Speakers 8:35 AM-9:20 AM Title: Lake Sturgeon recovery: Optimism for long-term success Author: Ron Bruch Affiliation: Fisheries Chief (retired), Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources Contact: [email protected] Abstract: Biologists who have worked with Lake Sturgeon are all aware of the devastating declines in abundance and habitat the species experienced in the Great Lakes and elsewhere throughout its range in North America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Yet today in the early part of the 21st Century Lake Sturgeon populations overall enjoy much greater protection from over-exploitation, and have greater opportunities for recovery and sustainability throughout their range than they have experienced since the early 19th Century. A combination of factors including: increased attention over the last 30-40 years by state and provincial governments to effectively manage harvest and conduct proper assessments, increased public awareness of LS and their extreme vulnerability to overexploitation, improvements in assessment techniques, improvement in LS propagation techniques and stocking strategies, exponential expansion of population studies and research, increasing awareness and efforts to improve habitat and water quality, and the formation of the North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish and World Sturgeon Conservation Societies have all contributed to greater protection and recovery potential. While these are all positive steps that collectively should allow many LS populations to continue or start down the road to recovery, there are still waters and populations that may not be getting the attention needed to allow their recovery to occur. -
Coexistence and Origin of Trophic Ecotypes of Pygmy Whitefish
doi: 10.1111/jeb.12011 Coexistence and origin of trophic ecotypes of pygmy whitefish, Prosopium coulterii, in a south-western Alaskan lake C. P. GOWELL*†,T.P.QUINN† &E.B.TAYLOR‡ *Department of Biology, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA, USA †School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA ‡Department of Zoology, Biodiversity Research Centre and Beaty Biodiversity Museum, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada Keywords: Abstract Coregoninae; Ecologically, morphologically and genetically distinct populations within sin- diet analysis; gle taxa often coexist in postglacial lakes and have provided important fish; model systems with which to investigate ecological and evolutionary pro- morphometrics; cesses such as niche partitioning and ecological speciation. Within the Sal- phylogeography; monidae, these species complexes have been well studied, particularly population genetics; within the Coregonus clupeaformis–C. laveratus (lake and European whitefish, sympatric populations. respectively) group, but the phenomenon has been less well documented in the other whitefish genera, Prosopium and Stenodus. Here, we examined the morphology, feeding biology and genetic structure of three putative forms of the pygmy whitefish, Prosopium coulterii (Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1892), first reported from Chignik Lake, south-western Alaska, over 40 years ago. Field collections and morphological analyses resolved a shal- low water (< 5 m depth) low gill raker count form (< 15 first arch gill rakers), a deepwater (> 30 m), low gill raker form and a deepwater, high gill raker count (> 15 gill rakers) form. The two low gill raker count forms fed almost exclusively on benthic invertebrates (mostly chironomids), while the deepwater, high gill raker count form fed almost exclusively on zooplank- ton; differences in diet were also reflected in differences both in d13C and d15N stable isotopes. -

First Record of a Coregonid Fish Species, Coregenus Albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake Shared Between Turkey and Georgia
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 25, No. 3: 325-332 (2019) SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of a coregonid fish species, Coregenus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake shared between Turkey and Georgia Sedat V. Yerli Department of Biology, Hacettepe University, SAL, Beytepe, Ankara, TURKEY Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The genus Coregenus (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) was recently considered not to be represented in Turkey. European cisco or vendace, Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) was reported for the first time for Turkey in this article with fifteen samples in Aktaş Lake, Ardahan. This species should be added to the checklist of Turkish fish fauna. Turkish name is proposed as “Akbalık” for this species. Keywords: Coregonus albula, first record, Aktaş Lake, Kartsakhi, alkaline lake, Georgia, Turkey Received: 30.10.2019, Accepted: 26.11.2019 Vendace or European cisco Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) is a native species for northern Europe. Berg (1948) reported the distribution of this species its morphological measurements in the former USSR and adjacent countries. Froese and Pauly (2019) summarized the natural distribution of vendace as Baltic basin, several lakes of upper Volga drainage; some lakes of White Sea basin and North Sea basin east of Elbe drainage; anadromous in Gulf of Finland and marine in northernmost freshened part of Gulf of Bothnia between Finland and Sweden; in Lake Inari, northern Finland; lower Rhine (now extirpated). The vendace was introduced, intentionally in some countries in Europe and United States of America. Vendace was introduced in 1959, 1982-1987 in the Irtysh River Basin and in 1960-61 in Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan (Mitrofanov and Petr 1999). -

Endangered Species
FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

H. & Todd, T. N. 2004: Status of the shortjaw cisco (Coregonus zenithicus) in Lake Supe- rior. — Ann. Zool. Fennici 41: 147–154. The shortjaw cisco (Coregonus zenithicus) was historically found in Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior, but has been extirpated in Lakes Huron and Michigan appar- ently as the result of commercial overharvest. During 1999–2001, we conducted an assessment of shortjaw cisco abundance in fi ve areas, spanning the U.S. waters of Lake Superior, and compared our results with the abundance measured at those areas in 1921–1922. The shortjaw cisco was found at four of the fi ve areas sampled, but abundances were so low that they were not signifi cantly different from zero. In the four areas where shortjaw ciscoes were found, abundance declined signifi cantly by 99% from the 1920s to the present. To increase populations of this once economically and ecologically important species in Lake Superior, an interagency rehabilitation effort is needed. -
