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.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Meade i ABSTRACT Many alterations in the hydrology of Lake Kampeska began with the arrival of masses of Anglo settlers in the 1870s. Why the lake has been altered is a complex issue linked to various natural physical processes which would have occurred even without the introduction of those settlers into the ecosystem. Those processes include weather, climate, sedimentation rates, lakebank erosion, chemical and mineral transport from soils, and flooding, among others. -
Minnesota River Flood Plain Lakes Report

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. -

A Checklist of Texas Fresh-Water Fishes By
A Checklist of I Texas Fresh-Water Fishes By CLARK HUBBS Department of Zoology The University of Texas DIVISION OF INLAND FISHERIES TEXAS GAME AND FISH COMMISSION Austin, Texas Marion Toole, Director IF Series - No. 3 Revised Dec. 1958 FOREWORD A checklist of Texas fresh-water fishes by CLARK HUBBS This checklist is modified from that of Hubbs (1957a). A number of changes have been made in nomenclature. Notropis roseus and N. deliciosus have been changed to N. texanus and N. strarnineus, re spectively, following Suttkus (1958). Etheostorna whipplei and E. m·tesiae have been changed to E. radiosum following a re-examina tion of available material. Two species have been added, Garnbusia senilis, following Hubbs (1958), and Eucinoslornus argenteus, a marine species collected in a .coastal stream near Brownsville. Two species which had not been described in the previous checklist are given their names, Gambusia geiseri, following Hubbs and Springer (1957), and G. helerochir, following Hubbs (1957b). The primary difference between the checklists is the addition of information on the distribution of fishes within the state to this list. The general concepts follow those given in a previous report (Hubbs, 1957c), but emphasize the ranges of the individual species rather than the distributional patterns. The range designations follow the common names of all species. The numbers refer to the modified game areas shovvn on the map. If the fish inhabits only a part of the area, it is so designated by preceding the number with letters (N. for north, etc.) indicating· the pai·t of the area inhabited by the species. -
