During a recent outing, we found the
Seminole Killifish in Lake Marion,
South Carolina. After
further research
we discovered that this species is now established in the lake probably
due to
bait bucket release. This
fish has also
been taken multiple times by Department of Natural Resources surveys
and local
fishermen. We also
led the Riverbanks
Zoo staff to the mountains to collect Fieryblack and Yellowfin Shiners,
Rosyside
Dace, and Rosyface Chub for their new trout stream exhibit. We also
witnessed
both Redlip and Yellowfin Shiners in breeding masses just a couple
weeks apart
but sadly no photos since I didn’t have an underwater camera. We hope
to get
good photos this coming spring to share. |
