TL;DR: The nature of the local habitat, in particular the size of the stream and the density of conspecifics, may be the major determinant of the rate of growth in the fallfish.
Abstract: Daily increments were found in the otoliths of the fallfish Semotilus corporalis from three stream populations in central New York. By counting these increments one can verify annual marks and vali...

TL;DR: No significant difference was found among control, burned, and logged lakes in the back-calculated length of yellow perch, for which age determinations were made, but it was found that the proportions of smallyellow perch and white sucker were significantly lower in these lakes.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine if natural fires and logging have a significant impact on abundance, growth, and size structure of fish populations in 38 lakes of the Laurentian Shield (Quebec, Canada). The watersheds of nine of these lakes underwent logging and nine underwent natural fires, while the 20 remaining lakes were used as references. No significant differences were found among the three lake groups in the catch per unit of effort of the most abundant species: white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), northern pike (Esox lucius), yellow perch (Perca flavescens), lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), fallfish (Semotilus corporalis), brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), and burbot (Lota lota). No significant difference was found among control, burned, and logged lakes in the back-calculated length of yellow perch, for which age determinations were made. However, we found that the proportions of small yellow perch and white sucker were significantly lower in p...

TL;DR: Fallfish are omnivorous based on stomach content (algae, fish, aquatic and terrestrial insects, and crayfish), and early larval development and scale formation are described.
Abstract: The biology of fallfish, Semotilus corporalis, was studied in Massachusetts. Back calculated age and growth data from eight different populations are compared. The computed TL-SR equation is L = 18.00 + 1.010 S. Fish from the Quabbin Reservoir attained a maximum age of X+. Males attained sexual maturity when III+, females at IV+. Spawning occurred from late April to June when the water temperature reached 14.4 C. Unfertilized egg diameter is 2.16 ± .09 mm and the water hardened egg diameter 2.70 ± .07 mm. Eggs hatched 138–144 hours after fertilization in a constant water bath of 17.0 ± 0.5 C. Newly hatched larvae are 6.82 ± .32 mm TL. Early larval development and scale formation are described. The fecundity-weight relationship is F = 159.1 + 26.4 W. Fallfish are omnivorous based on stomach content (algae, fish, aquatic and terrestrial insects, and crayfish).

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that native minnow biodiversity has declined over the last 150 years as a result of changing biotic, physical, chemical, and watershed characteristics of the lakes.
Abstract: We discuss the distribution and native status of 24 minnow species (family: Cyprinidae) collected at 203 randomly selected lakes in the northeastern USA (New England, New York, New Jersey) by the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP). Twenty-four species were collected during the summers of 1991–96. Only golden shiner was frequently collected, occurring in 71% of the sampled lakes. Fallfish, creek chub, and common shiner were also common. The remaining species were taken in <10% of the lakes. Physical (surface area, depth, elevation), chemical (pH, total phosphorus), and watershed disturbance characteristics of the lakes show distinct species-specific patterns. Evidence suggests that native minnow biodiversity has declined over the last 150 years as a result of changing biotic, physical, chemical, and watershed characteristics.
