4 Pelvic Rays

4 Pelvic Rays. One of 4 caught at same location

Introduced to a few alpine lakes in SW Alberta in 1959 from California stock, and subsequently to a few lakes east of Banff National Park.

@scottgibson I count 10 soft dorsal rays on this one

Saw this individual last year, but this time I was actually in the water with it. Quite an experience. It looks like its mouth wound has healed decently.

Found jammed partly under a rock at side of Ottawa River soon after ice departed.

Pukaskwa National Park, Lake Superior with Ontario Upper Great Lakes FAU. Fish community index netting.

Washed up on the shore. I initially thought smelt but others suggested shortjaw cisco or pygmy whitefish.

some kind of shiner - to be keyed
