Twitter — I'm on a team conducting a "Horizon Scan" for fishes that could become established if introduced to the US. Other than FishBase, are there online resources for natural history/traits information for non-US fish species? Thx 🐟🐠

Lake Trout A2455... tagged in 1999 (493 mm), recaptured in 2005 (618mm) and this week (754 mm). All captures on the same shoal. A2455 is about 30 yrs old. Beast mode!

Our lake trout tagging on Lake Opeongo has been in continuous operation since the early 90s.

Fish Friday: The Blotched Chub (Erimystax insignis) is a species endemic to the Cumberland and Tennessee River drainages, where they can be found in upland rivers and creeks consisting of riffles/runs over rocky substrates. This individual was observed in the Little River of TN.

Fish Friday: The Gilt Darter (Percina evides) is a species with disjunct populations throughout the Mississippi River basin. They are generally found in rivers/streams with fast-moving flows over various rocky-substrates. This individual was observed in the Pigeon River of TN.

I’m hoping that someone can identify these wetlands plants 🌱. My initial fear was that the broadleaf ones were water hyacinth but I don’t think so.

[U of MN FWCB @UMNFWCB]

The Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission recently identified walleye as a moderately to extremely vulnerable species in Wisconsin lakes. Research by @gretchen_H20 considers the effects of more erratic temps (read: climate change) on food sources. https://t.co/d4CKIVqTp3
