50 greenside darters! for normglochidia infestations studies. what is
that?
is this a common practice and the norm?
i see greensides often enough but they are one of the fewer darter species i
encounter in large numbers ( i cant think of anytime i have seen more than a
dozen in an area or stretch of stream ) unlike snubs, redlines, rainbows
even logperch which can be in large numbers indeed. it sure seems like that (50)
is a lot of greensides to study. and how do you study them?

Today marked my first day collecting in Tennessee waters, and after a AFS
chapter meeting and a rare fish meeting in the last month and being in warmer
weather now I have had a major itch to be in the water. It was all for fun
really too, no research, no hard data needed, just getting me familiar with
large rivers and some of the fish I will run into, and grabbing some to do
glochidia infestations. So I headed out to the Holston River-in-McKinney Island
to a large shoal for some greenside darters.
I hoped to get 50 greenside darters, needless to say I ended up with half in
about 4 times the amout of time I was told it would take.
