A LIFE HISTORY STUDY OF THE SILVER CHUB, HYBOPSIS STORERIANA (KIRTLAND). mteSTm LAKE ERIE The silver chub, Hybopsis storerlana (Kirtland), is a minnow common in Lake Erie, and in the large lakes, impound­ ments, and major streams of the Mississippi River drainage system. There are abundant distribution records of this species but little research has been conducted toward its life history. E. E. Good, while a student at Stone Institute during the summer of 1946, made a brief study of the silver chub. His work consisted of the examination of 35 specimens and a survey of the literature. Food habit studies were made on a few Lake Erie speci­ mens by Sibley (1929) and by Boesel (1937). Marie Poland Fish (1935) described the larval stages of the silver chub. A study of the parasites of Hybopsls atorerlana was made by Bangham and Hunter (1939). George A. Moore (1950) examined the cutaneous sense organs of this barbeled minnow. The major portion of this study was conducted from the Autumn of 1952 through the Spring of 1954* A few collections were made during the period from 1946 to 1952. Most of the collections were made with a 30-foot otter trawl, within a 10-mlle radius of the Frans Theodore Stone Institute of Hydro- -2- biology, Put-ln-Bay, Ohio (Pig. 1). The majority of the collections were made over mud bottom containing varying amounts of silt, clay, sand, and small gravel (Wood, 1953)* Most collections were made within two feet of the bottom at depths of 9 to 11 meters. The author wishes to acknowledge the assistance of the following persons: Dr. Thomas H. Langlols, who made this study possible and whose advice guided the study; Dr. E. E. Good, whose excellent preliminary work served as a starting point for this study; Dr. Jacob Verduin, who aided In statistical analyses; Dr. N. Wilson Britt, who rendered assistance In the identification of invertebrates found in the stomach contents; Dr. Milton B. Trautman, who helped with the fish taxonomy phases of this work; Mr. Paul V. Webster, who operated the Institute research boat, the BIO-LAB, and who helped Immensely with the collect­ ing activities. -3- Descriptions of the Silver Chub, Hybopsla storsrlana (Kirtland) During a meeting of the Boston Society of Natural History, on June 1$, 181+2, Dr. D. Humphrey Storer mentioned that he had received the descriptions of three species of fishes from Dr. J. P. Kirtland of Ohio (Kirtland, I8I4J4.K One of these species was Rutllua storerlanus# This original description of the silver chub, which Included a drawing, was published by the society in 18[4.7 . Kirtland had been submitting to the Boston Journal a series of articles, under the title, "Descrip­ tions of the Fishes of Lake Erie, the Ohio River, and Their Tributaries•" For some reason, possibly a printer's error, the words, "Lake Erie," were omitted from the title of the article containing the original description of the silver chub. I am convinced the omission was accidental rather than by the author's intention, because Kirtland gives the habitat for this minnow as Lake Erie. In a later publication (1850), in refer­ ring to the fishes of Ohio, Kirtland again gives the habitat as, "Lake Erie," and nowhere does he mention having collected the silver chub in the Ohio River* Kirtland's description of the adult silver chub does not Include a maxillary barbel, which is a key taxonomic character for this species* His description could be applied to Notropla hudsonlus were it not for the slse, given as eight inches* His description of the young, which is discussed later in this pa­ per. Is Incorrect. He gives the common name as, "Lake minnow." This name is currently used In the Lake Erie region when refer­ ence to Notropla a. atherlnoldea. the lake emerald shiner, is Intended. This minnow would fit Kirtland'a description of the young. Excellent descriptions of Hybopsla atorerlana may be found In Cox (1897)# Forbes and Richardson (1920), Jordan and Ever- mann (1896), and O s b u m (1901). There is some disagreement as to the location of the Inser­ tion of the dorsal fin with respect to the pelvic fins. Hubbs and Lagler (19L|.6) state that the dorsal fin is inserted dis­ tinctly In advance of the pelvic fins. Jordan and Evermann (op.clt.) state that the dorsal fin

    A Fisheries Survey of Selected Lake Erie Coastal Marshes in Michigan, 2005 James Francis Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division 26000 W. Eight Mile Rd. Southfield, MI 48034 James Boase U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Alpena Fishery Resources Office Federal Building, Room 204 145 Water Street Alpena, MI 49707 March 1, 2007 Introduction: Coastal marshes are an important component of fisheries habitat in western Lake Erie. These marsh habitats are vital and unique for a number of reasons. The extensive use of wetlands by fish and wildlife is related to their diverse structural habitat and high primary productivity (Jude and Pappas 1992). These marshes are generally shallow, protected from wave energy, and have a diversity of emergent and submerged vegetation. The aquatic macrophytes provide structural heterogeneity that is particularly important for providing refugia for small fish, as well as providing substrate for large populations of invertebrate species which is a source of food for fishes. Because these areas are shallow and protected, they warm quicker in the spring than the open water. Also, rivers and streams bring downstream drift and nutrients to near shore waters. These factors promote increased productivity in marshes versus open water habitat. Herdendorf (1987) found that phytoplankton production in western Lake Erie marshes is much higher than in offshore areas. The availability of coastal marshes is especially important given that estimates of only 10% of original coastal marshes remain along Lake Erie (Herdendorf 1987). Coastal marshes typically have a high number of fish species associated with them. This is because the Great Lakes fish community preferentially use coastal marshes and wetlands for spawning and nursery habitat (Wei et al.

Competition and distribution model predictions vary based on dominance hierarchies, but most assume differences in dominance are constant across habitats. More recent evidence suggests dominance and competitive advantages may vary based on habitat. We quantified dominance interactions between two species of sharks Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos and Carcharhinus melanopterus, across two different habitats, fore reef and back reef, at a remote Pacific atoll. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to observe dominance behaviors and quantified the number of aggressive interactions or bites to the BRUVs from either species, both separately and in the presence of one another. Blacktip reef sharks were the most abundant species in either habitat, and there was significant negative correlation between their relative abundance, bites on BRUVs, and the number of grey reef sharks. Although this trend was found in both habitats, the decline in blacktip abundance with grey reef shark presence was far more pronounced in fore reef habitats. We show that the presence of one shark species may limit the feeding opportunities of another, but the extent of this relationship is habitat specific. Future competition models should consider habitat-specific dominance or competitive interactions.

  • Lake Erie Islands
    Number of Lake Erie Islands in Ohio: 15* 2010 Island Population: 945 (not including Johnson’s Island) Number of Access Sites: South Bass Island: 13 Middle Bass Island: 4 North Bass Island: 3 Kelleys Island: 6 Number of Right-of-Way Sites: 1 Miles of Publicly Accessible Coast: 9.7 miles Lake Erie Islands Ohio has over a dozen natural islands in Lake Erie’s Western Basin. The Lake Erie Islands range in size from miniscule rock outcroppings that disappear and reappear with the rise and fall of the lake’s water levels, to larger inhabited land masses. Ohio’s largest island is Kelleys Island (2,837 acres), followed by South Bass (1,523 acres), Middle Bass (771 acres) and North Bass (677 acres) islands. The remaining Lake Erie Islands in Ohio are all smaller than 100 acres. Johnson’s Island, located in Sandusky Bay, is 300 acres. Canada’s Pelee Island (10,330 acres) is the largest island in Lake Erie. Ohio’s islands are renowned for their natural resources, recreational opportunities, cultural attractions and charm. South Bass Island is the southernmost and most developed of the three Bass Islands. It is located in Ottawa County approximately three miles north of Catawba Point. In the 1850s, the grape-growing and wine-making industries began to flourish, which helped establish the island as a popular vacation destination. The 625-room Hotel Victory was built in 1892. When it opened it was the largest resort hotel in the country and featured the first co-ed swimming pool. Fire destroyed the hotel in 1919.
