WISCONSIN DNR FISHERIES INFORMATION SHEET Walleye WISCONSIN DNR FISHERIES INFORMATION SHEET LAKE MINNESUING, DOUGLAS COUNTY 2017 The WDNR conducted a fisheries assessment of Lake Minnesuing, Douglas County from April 5 to April 13, 2017. Lake Minnesuing is a 432 acre drainage lake and has a maximum depth of 43 feet. The fishery includes panfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Lake Minnesuing was estimated to contain 207 adult walleye or 0.5 fish per acre. Adult Walleye Length Frequency Distribution 12 10 8 Walleye 6 Total Captured 73 Number Avg.

DOI:10.4311/2019LSC0125 BIODIVERSITY FROM CAVES AND OTHER SUBTERRANEAN HABITATS OF GEORGIA, USA Kirk S. Zigler1C, Matthew L. Niemiller2, Charles D.R. Stephen3, Breanne N. Ayala1, Marc A. Milne4, Nicholas S. Gladstone5, Annette S. Engel6, John B. Jensen7, Carlos D. Camp8, James C. Ozier9, and Alan Cressler10 Abstract We provide an annotated checklist of species recorded from caves and other subterranean habitats in the state of Georgia, USA. We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state.

  • Chapter 2 Species of Greatest Conservation Need
    Spotted salamander Southern flying squirrel Alewife Eastern screech owl Chapter 2 Species of Greatest Conservation Need 2.1 District of Columbia’s Wildlife Diversity Despite being a highly urbanized city, the District of Columbia has high wildlife diversity, which is due, in part, to the wide variety of habitats found throughout the city and a large amount of undeveloped federal land. This chapter addresses Element 1 by describing the diversity of the District’s animal wildlife and the process used to select and rank SGCN for SWAP 2015. Two hundred five animal species have been listed as SGCN in SWAP 2015 (see Table 1). Thirty-two species were removed and 90 species were added as SGCN as a result of the selection process described in this chapter, which is based on 10 years of wildlife inventory and monitoring projects.

  • Catfish Management Plan [PDF]
    Distribution, Biology, and Management of Wisconsin’s Ictalurids Statewide catfish management plan April 2016 INTRODUCTION Wisconsin's Ictalurids can be classed into three broad groups. The bullheads – yellow, brown and black – are closely related members of the genus Ameiurus. The madtoms – slender, tadpole and stonecat – all belong to the genus Noturus. The two large catfish – the channel catfish and flathead catfish – are not closely related, but are linked by their importance as recreational and commercial species. Ictalurids are found in all three of Wisconsin's major drainages – the Mississippi River, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. Wisconsin has over 3,000 river miles of catfish water, along with several lakes and reservoirs that also support populations. They are most common in the Mississippi River and in the southern parts of the state. Although Wisconsin’s Ictalurids, such as channel catfish, do not enjoy the widespread glamour and status that they do in the southern United States, they are becoming more popular with Wisconsin’s anglers. A 2006-2007 mail survey revealed nearly 800,000 channel catfish were caught, while the harvest rate was nearly 70%. This harvest rate was highest among fish species targeted by Wisconsin anglers. Channel catfish are also an important commercial fishery on the Mississippi River, while setline anglers are active in many rivers of the state. As for flathead catfish, anecdotal evidence suggests that Wisconsin’s largest predatory fish is becoming a highly sought after trophy specimen. Given anglers’ increased propensity to fish for a food source as well as to fish for trophies, channel catfish and flathead catfish do not appear to have peaked in popularity.

This finding strongly supports from North America (Horoszewicz 1971, Witkowski the hypothesis that the black bullhead was co-introduced into Polish waters with the brown bullhead, Ameiurus nebulosus, 2002). However, in 2007 another catfish from the at the end of the nineteenth century.

  • Limited Appearance Statement of Susan Woods Regarding Levy
    DOCKETED USNRC January 13, 2012 (10:15 am) OFFICE OF SECRETARY RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDICATIONS STAFF I know you all are aware that building nuclear plants so close to the Gulf of Mexico, and on fragile coastal ecosystems, requires the utmost care in selecting sites and plans for construction. Any mistakes that result in damage to the Gulf Coast ecosystems will surely create an uproar on the scale of the BP oil spill. There are many of us here today who can comment on the science of that with more expertise than I have. My mission today is to remind all of you that you have a responsibility not only to the folks who will live within the shadow of the new nuclear plants, but also to those who cannot speak for themselves, and who are perhaps not even recognized by most of us. For this reason, I have given you copies of a paper written by Stephen J. Walsh of the US Geological Survey entitled Freshwater Macrofauna of Florida Karst Habitats. The aim of the paper is to emphasize several very important points: 1. You must understand that what affects salt water, as in the Gulf of Mexico, also affects freshwater habitats, as the water from the Gulf interacts significantly with the water of the Floridan Aquifer in the location you have chosen. 2. With the exception of those parts of Florida that have already used up freshwater resources in their area, and who have already turned to desalinization, the Floridan Aquifer is THE source of fresh water for all Floridians who live in the western half of the state.
