SAMPLING GEAR VULNERABILITY
OF THE CRYSTAL DARTER
(CRYSTALLARIA ASP RELLA)
IN MINNESOTA

Abstract: Recent stream survey results and historical records compiled in the Minnesota Natural Heritage Program database were reviewed to determine the distribution and sampling gear vulnerability of the crystal darter (Crystallaria asprella) in the Mississippi River Basin of southeastern Minnesota. Including Wisconsin boundary rivers shared with Minnesota, the species has been reported from five major watersheds within the basin at 22 localities which encompass five Minnesota and six Wisconsin counties. Survey gears which have successfully sampled crystal darters include seines, boom and stream electroshockers, and deep water trawr nets. Introduction The crystal darter (Crystallaria [Ammocrypta] asprella)
reaches the extreme northern edge of its range in southeastern
Minnesota (Lee et a1 1980) where it has been reported from the
St. Croix (Fago 1986), Zumbro, and Mississippi Rivers. In Wis- consin, the species has also been reported from the Mississippi
River drainage in the Red Cedar, Chippewa and Trempealeau Rivers
(Becker 1983). Regionally, the crystal darter is proposed for
Threatened status in Minnesota and listed Endangered in Wisconsin
(Schmidt 1995). In 1994, surveys were conducted for the crystal
darter in Pools 4, 5A, 6, 7, and 9 of the Mississippi River.
These results were pooled with all known occurrences of the
crystal darter in Minnesota to illustrate distribution, and also,
provide a review of sampling gears and methods which have been
used to collect the species.
Methods and Materials Both diurnal and nocturnal surveys were conducted at 31
stations in four Minnesota and three Wisconsin counties from mid
September to mid November. Sampling gears consisted of a boom
shocker and four types of seines (Table 1).

2 Seine hauls were usually done downstream of wing dams or at
the head of islands. Seines consisted of both normal and bag type, quarter inch mesh, and ranged in lengths from 25 to 100 feet and depths from 4 to 6 feet. Wood poles were tied to the tow ropes at each end to provide some control in deep and swift currents. Seines were dragged in a downstream direction with one
boot hooked on the pole and firmly planted on the lead line to
keep the bottom edge in contact with the river bed. In deep
habitats, one hauler remained near shore at approximately chest depth, while the other swam out deploying the seine and thrusting
the pole downward as far as possible. All seine haul catches were sorted to species, tallied, and voucher specimens preserved
for the fish collection at the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural
History in St. Paul.
Boom shocking runs were conducted in habitats associated with wing dams, closing dams, and ripped-rapped banks in usually
a downstream direction. Polarized sunglasses were used during
the day to reduce surface glare and flood lamps at night to
illuminate the sample area in front of the boat. Due to the
abundance of large fish sampled and variable effectiveness on
darters with this gear, dip netters generally targeted only
species which resembled the crystal darter in shape, size, and
saddle patches.
Stations where the crystal darter was encountered were
photographed on 35 mm slides and video taped. Occurrences were
mapped on 7.5 minute quadrangles and transcribed for data entry
into the Minnesota Natural Heritage Program filing system.
Additional records were requested from several sources and simi
larly compiled through February 1995.
3 Results and Discussion The 1994 Mississippi River surveys sampled 1582 fish repre- senting 49 species in 14 families. The emerald shiner was the most frequently sampled and abundant species which was present in
81.2 percent of the samples and comprised 24.7 percent of the
total catch. The rarest species included thirteen fishes which were each sampled once and represented by a single specimen
(Table 2).

5 Crystal darters were collected at two stations, comprised
0.1 percent of the total catch, and present in 6.2 percent of the samples. Both locations (Pool 5A: unnamed island - River Mile
[RM] 733.9 and Pool 4: Hershey Island - RM 758.7) were in the main channel downstream of a wing dam at depths of 8 or 9 feet in moderate to strong current over coarse sand to pebble substrate.
Sampling gear in both collections consisted of a bag seine 50 feet long and 4 feet deep.
This study also sampled species which are designated or proposed for Threatened, or Special Concern status in Minnesota and Wisconsin. These include the shovelnose sturgeon, paddle- fish, weed shiner, channel shiner, blue sucker, river redhorse, western sand darter, and mud darter.
In 1994, independent surveys produced five additional crys- tal darter collections in lower Pool 4 of the Mississippi River
(RM 754.3 - 758.7). These results were combined with the one collection from this study in that same stream reach to provide an overview of associated species representing 36 fishes in 10 families. The spotfin shiner, river shiner, emerald shiner, white bass, and logperch were the most frequently occurring species and present in 66.7 to 100.0 percent of the crystal darter collections (Table 3).

7 All known element occurrence records (EOR) of the crystal darter have been transferred (approximately) to stream maps
(Figures 1 - 7) which illustrate the species longitudinal distri
bution in the Mississippi, St. Croix, and Zumbro Rivers. Data queries for additional information on localities, sampling gears,
specimen deposition, and survey sources can be requested from the
Minnesota Natural Heritage Program in St. Paul, MN.
The Mississippi (RM 733.8/733.9 - 758.7) from lower Pool 4 -
Pool 5A (Figure 5) had the most occurrences at 10, maximum number
of specimens sampled in a single collection (13 at RM 754.3 and
11 at RM 733.8), and greatest replication of collections made at
the same site (3 at RM 733.8) which encompassed a sampling period
from 1980 - 1994. The Zumbro River (Figure 2) was second in the
number of occurrences at five, but also had three crystal darter
collections at the same station (RM 34.0) from 1984 - 1993. Two
collections have been reported from the lower St. Croix River
(Figure 1) and is the most northerly distribution for the spe
cies.
The crystal darter has not been reported from Mississippi
River Pools 1 - 3, 7, upper 9, or lower reaches of larger tribu
taries (i.e., Minnesota, Cannon, Whitewater, and Root Rivers).
There are also no occurrences reported from Lake Pepin, middle
and lower Pool 5, lower Pool 5A, middle Pool 6, and middle and
lower Pool 8. However, some of these locations (e.g., Lake Pepin
and most of Pool 8) may not have sufficient wing dams, current,
or substrates which provide suitable habitats for the crystal
darter.

Depths, when provided, ranged from approximately three to 30 feet. Seines have been used longer than any other gear, compiled the most records, and also sampled the greatest number of speci mens for a single collection (13 at RM 754.3 and 11 at RM 733.8). Gear specifications and techniques are similar to those described in the Methods and Materials section. However, MDNR Fisheries crews used a boat in one collection to deploy the seine in deep water, and Eddy and Underhill (1973) reported the dislodging of woody debris in swift currents would flush specimens into a seine held directly downstream. The primary disadvantage of this gear occurs at depths greater than the seine. The floats excessive buoyancy lift the lead line off the bottom and the seine passes over darters and other benthic fishes. The crystal darter's reported burrowing behavior (Robison and Buchanan 1988) also injects an unknown variable which suggests all seining efforts to date may have actually undersampled the species. To be effective, especially in large rivers, seines should have a depth of at least 10 feet, and a sufficiently weighted lead line which must (1) always remain in contact with the river bed over its entire length, and (2) also provide some agitation to dislodge crystal darters buried in the substrates. 16 Generally, darters are poor candidates for electroshocking surveys especially in deep or turbid water because they posses either a rudimentary swim bladder or lack one entirely which eliminates buoyancy. The electrical field often stuns darters on the bottom without exhibiting galvanotaxis (forced swimming with direction) toward the anode electrode and waiting dip netter. Stream shockers are used in shallower water and usually more effective than boom shockers (at least in clear streams) because immobilized darters can be recovered off the bottom. However, collections of this gear type have been made only in the Zumbro River. Boom shockers can cover several miles of stream in a single day, and permit sampling in swift currents over wing and closing dams and extensive gravel-sand raceways which are too large or deep to wade with a stream shocker. However, this gear is rarely effective on darters over a depth of about three feet and less under turbid conditions. Despite these limitations, boom shock ers rank second to the seine in compiling the overall number of crystal darter records. Deepwater trawl surveys have produced only two crystal darter collections in upper Pools 5 and 8 at depths of about 30 feet which is likely not the maximum depth this species inhabits. However, these habitats are not routinely sampled and additional surveys need to be conducted before this gear can be adequately evaluated. 17 Conclusions and Recommendations The crystal darter does not warrant Threatened status in Minnesota for the following reasons. (1) Unless federally list- ed, peripheral species such as the crystal darter should never qualify for status higher than Special Concern. (2) All but two of the occurrences are relatively recent (1978 - 1994), and most of these are the results of surveys conducted since 1991. (3) Many occurrences are comprised of multiple records which encom- pass varying sample periods (i.e., weeks, months, years, and decades) and verifies the same results can be reproduced on a fairly consistent basis. (4) The current distribution is much wider than what was known in 1983 when the species was first reviewed and appropriately designated Special Concern. (5) The crystal darter has exhibited the ability to successfully adapt and utilize habitats associated with wing dams which are exten- sive and abundant throughout most of species reported range in Mississippi River Pools 4 - 9. Future efforts to document the crystal darter in Minnesota and identify threats to habitats should include the following: (1) Surveys should be conducted where the species has not been reported in the Mississippi River drainage below St. Anthony Falls. This includes lower reaches of the Minnesota, Cannon, Whitewater, and Root Rivers, and Mississippi River Pools 1 - 3, 7, and 9. (2) When the species is sampled in a new locality, at least one voucher specimen should be deposited in the fish col- lection at the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History in St. Paul. (3) Seines used in the Mississippi River must be deep enough and sufficiently weighted to effectively sample depths 18 from a minimum of six to at least nine feet. In the 1994 study, this requirement was never met and the seine was either too shallow (Table 1) or too deep where the lead line was only par- tially or sporadically in contact with the bottom. (4) A boom shocking survey should be conducted down the last 10 to 20 miles of the Zumbro River and selectively target only preferred habi tats (i.e., gravel-sand raceways and embedded woody debris). If these efforts produce favorable results, expand surveys to in- clude other large Mississippi River tributaries. (4) Deepwater trawl surveys should be attempted in scour holes below lock and dams, wing and closing dams, and tributary mouths. (5) Kuehne and Barbour (1983) reported the crystal darter may be more vul nerable to nocturnal sampling which should be incorporated in all survey gear regimes. (5) Surveys should be done during low flows from about late June to mid September. Crystal darters have been collected as late as November, but this 1994 study observed a dramatic decline of all species and total catch in late September when fishes are apparently moving into deeper water. (6) Abun- dance data is lacking on the species and follow up SCUBA surveys at sites where the crystal darter has been recently sampled may provide this information, and also, reveal the actual effective ness of the qear type used. However, Dr. Jay Hatch (pers.comm.) from the University of Minnesota experienced almost zero visibil ity during a 1994 summer dive due to turbidity. Additional dives should be attempted during extended droughts and winter months when optimum water clarity conditions exist. (7) Robison and Buchanan (1988) reported that crystal darter habitats are ex tremely vulnerable to channelization, dredging, and impoundments. 19 The Mississippi River is managed for commercial navigation which includes the practice of dredging a minimum channel depth and dumping dredge spoil on river banks and islands. This would appear to be the greatest threat facing the crystal darter in Minnesota. However, one lower Pool 4 collection was made in 1994 at an island (RM 756.4) which is a designated and active dredge spoil disposal site. The unconsolidated material gradually eroding back into the river may be providing a source of suitable substrates which favor the crystal darter's burrowing behavior. The potential impacts (negative and positive) of this practice should be fully assessed through long term studies conducted at this site and others designated for dredge spoil dumping. Varia- bles to be monitored should include the presenCe and abundance of fishes both tolerant and sensitive to siltation and turbidity, water depth, current velocity and direction, substrate composi- tion and embeddedness, and sediment deposition on wing dams.
