(Ref. 59153) Distribution: Northwest Atlantic: North America and Gulf of Mexico drainage (southeast South Dakota and central Gazetteer Minnesota, Great Lakes drainage, i.e. in Lake Erie, southern parts of Lakes Huron and Michigan, Lake Ontario basin; not Lake Superior; southernmost New York southward to the Mississippi system and to Gulf southward to Río Pánuco, Mexico. Morphology: Dorsal spines (total): 0 - 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 15; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 25 – 36; Vertebrae: 47 – 51. Body moderately deep; belly with 17 to 20 - 10 to 14 scutes. Mouth small; lower jaw short. Last dorsal fin ray long, about equal to distance from snout tip to mid-pectoral fin or beyond; anal fin long. Scales small, somewhat irregular. A dark spot behind gill opening. Gill rakers fine and numerous (Ref. 188). Branchiostegal rays 6 (Ref. 4639). Silvery to brassy, with a bluish back. Stomach thick-walled, gizzard-like (Ref. 7251). Biology: Occur mainly in freshwater in large rivers, reservoirs, lakes, swamps, temporary floodwater pools, etc., but adults also found in brackish or saline water of estuaries or bays, preferring quieter open waters. Juveniles are found in great abundance well upstream from brackish water (Ref. 39041). Very young individuals apparently never enter brackish water (Ref. 38947). Larvae are most abundant in surface waters both day and night (Ref. 4639). A herbivorous filter-feeder almost entirely.

Geers Master of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science Stony Brook University 2012 The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a valuable ecosystem both socially and economically, and fisheries contribute substantially to this value. Gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus, support the largest fishery in the Gulf (by weight) and provide forage for marine mammals, seabirds and commercially and recreationally important fish species. Understanding the complex interactions among multiple fisheries and myriad unfished species requires tools different from those used in traditional single-species management.

Thomas Fisheries Program Coordinator 2011 (Third edition, 2021) Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources Division of Fisheries Cover paintings by Rick Hill • Publication design by Adrienne Yancy Preface entucky is home to a total of 245 native fish species with an additional 24 that have been introduced either intentionally (i.e., for sport) or accidentally. Within Kthe United States, Kentucky’s native freshwater fish diversity is exceeded only by Alabama and Tennessee. This high diversity of native fishes corresponds to an abun- dance of water bodies and wide variety of aquatic habitats across the state – from swift upland streams to large sluggish rivers, oxbow lakes, and wetlands. Approximately 25 species are most frequently caught by anglers either for sport or food. Many of these species occur in streams and rivers statewide, while several are routinely stocked in public and private water bodies across the state, especially ponds and reservoirs. The largest proportion of Kentucky’s fish fauna (80%) includes darters, minnows, suckers, madtoms, smaller sunfishes, and other groups (e.g., lam- preys) that are rarely seen by most people.

Thesis submitted by Boga Soni Figa Post Graduate Diploma of Science (JCU) Graduate Certificate in Research Methods (JCU) In August 2014 For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the School of Marine and Tropical Biology James Cook University I Abstract In the face of continuous threats to the freshwater systems of the world from waste of anthropogenic origins and climate-induced environmental changes, the productivity of large floodplain ecosystems in virtually every continent is under serious threat of survival. Fish distributions and temporal dynamics are in part functions of habitat structure and conditions. Riverine fish population biology and dynamics have been studied extensively worldwide and described under various river productivity models that explain community dynamics and structure according to a range of spatial and temporal factors. Fish distribution and movements have been described in four dimensions – longitudinal, lateral, vertical, and temporal (seasonal) – that reflect the dynamic spatial and temporal nature of fish movements and habitat requirements in freshwater systems.
