Fishes of Idaho

The Study of Fish = Ichthyology

Early civilizations studied Fish Important as: Food Source Cultural Ceremonial

Why do we continue to Study Fish? Because they are important

*Ecologically – part of the web of life

*Provide jobs & Food – Yummm !

*Fishing is Fun !

*Fish are Interesting & Beautiful

Fish Fact: fish have two names 1. Common name: bluegill (bream, roach, shellcracker, sunfish, France = crapet) 2. Scientific name: Lepomis macrochirus

Fish Fact: there are more kinds of fish than kinds of birds + mammals + reptiles 28,800 different species

Many different Shapes:

More Shapes:

Many Different Sizes: Smallest = Infantfish 1/100 meter Largest = Whale shark 12 meters

Many Different Colors:

Many food preferences: = =

Anglers imitate insects with fur and feathers

Many Different Habitats: What makes this run a good habitat?

Three Main Habitats: 58% Live in Salt Water 41% Live in Fresh Water

The rest (1%) are Anadromous

The Path salmon swim from Idaho to the ocean and back again Riggins, ID to Pacific = 600 miles Stanley, ID to Pacific = 900 miles

How is this dam affecting migrating salmon? 75,000

Fish Fact: United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) 2,000 different species 40 now extinct

Fish Fact: Idaho 39 native fish species -1 extinct >60 exotic fish species

Fish Fact: Idaho has 8 Native Fish groups: 1. Sturgeon 2. Lamprey 3. Minnows 4. Suckers 5. Sculpin 6. Codfish 7. Trout-Perch 8. Whitefish/Trout/Salmon

1. Sturgeon = 1 2. Lamprey = 1 3. Minnows = Suckers = 6 5. Sculpin = 8 6. Codfish = 1 7. Trout-Perch = 1 8. Whitefish = 5 Trout = 3 Salmon: 3-1 extinct = 2

1. Sturgeon Idaho = White sturgeon

Sturgeon feed on salmon carcasses

1,500 pound Idaho Sturgeon

2. Lamprey Idaho = Pacific Lamprey

3. Minnows Ten (10) Species

4. Suckers Six (6) Species

5. Sculpin Eight (8) Species

6. Codfish Idaho = Burbot

Live in large lakes in Northern Idaho

7. Troutperch Idaho = Sandroller Adipose fin Adipose fin = unique to the sandroller, trout, whitefish, and salmon

8. Whitefish/Trout/Salmon Eleven (11) Species

Whitefish Five (5) Species

Mountain Whitefish

Trout Three (3) Species

= Cutthroat Trout What is the Idaho State Fish ?

Yellowstone Westslope

Bull Trout

Rainbow Trout

Anadromous Rainbow = Steelhead

Salmon Three (3) Species

Salmon Nest Salmon eggs are buried in gravel

After spawning, all salmon die & add nutrients to the streams

Chinook salmon = King salmon

97 pound Chinook Salmon from Alaska

Sockeye salmon = redfish

Redfish Lake

Coho salmon = extinct in Idaho

Habitat Use Different size fish live in different habitats

The Exotic Invaders = Fish not native to Idaho

How did Exotic Fish Come to Idaho ? People Brought them here

Bluegill

Perch

Bass

Northern Pike
