Fish assemblages were sampled in 195 randomly selected lakes in the northeastern United States during the summers of 1991-1994. Most lakes in northern Maine had three to seven minnow species, constituting 40-80% of species in each lake. Lakes in New Jersey, southern New York, and southern New England rarely had minnows, other than golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas). Lakes in the Adirondacks and the remainder of northern New England had intermediate numbers. We examined minnow native ranges and autecology and evaluated species richness related to littoral predators and human disturbance. Sample data suggested alteration in the minnow assemblages over much of the region. The most consistent factor related to minnow species richness was the presence of littoral predators. Median number of minnow species was two in lakes lacking predators and zero in lakes with predators. Non-native predators, especially Micropterus spp., have been introduced throughout the Northeast; 69% of the sampled lakes had non-native predators. In the absence of predators, minnow species declined with increased human activity in the watershed and along lake shorelines. Only in northern Maine did lake minnow assemblages seem relatively intact.

Aggregations of prey fish, golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas), were examined during 7 yr of predator manipulations in two lakes to determine whether they responded to changes in predation pressure and varied with time-of-day, age, and habitat. Regression analysis was used to examine aggregation in 12 replicate prey densities from two time periods, two ages, two habitats, three sample series, and seven predator densities. Aggregation was assessed as the variance of mean densities for each treatment combination. Multiple regression and ANCOVA analyses indicated that (1) golden shiner aggregated more during day than night, (2) their aggregation was positively related to predator density, (3) young shiner aggregated more than older ones at low predator densities, and (4) aggregation in older shiner was more responsive to increased predator densities than aggregation in younger shiner. These results provide empirical evidence that golden shiner aggregation patterns respond to predation pressure and the response varies with time and age. These results also suggest that variance in net catches can provide an index of fish aggregation and that aggregation observed at the population level is not solely dependent on species and density, but is a behavioural response mediated by several factors including predators.

Notemigonus Crysoleucas

In 2005 and 2009, two species of Cyprinidae, the Northern Redbelly Dace, Phoxinus eos, and the Golden Shiner, Notemigonus crysoleucas, were collected northeast of their know range, in Québec. These new records, indeed range extensions, are presented here with a short discussion on the fish fauna of the area and on the possibility of introductions.En 2005 et en 2009, deux espèces de Cyprinidés, soit le Méné ventre-rouge, Phoxinus eos, et le Méné jaune, Notemigonus crysoleucas, ont été capturées au nord-est de leur répartition connue au Québec. Ces nouvelles mentions, qui constituent des extensions d'aire, sont ici présentées de même qu'une courte discussion sur l'ichtyofaune de la région et la possibilité d'introductions.
