Fishes of the Little Missouri River
Personius RG and Eddy S. 1955. Fishes of the Little Missouri River. Copeia. 1955(1):41-43
New aquatic habitats to be created by the big dams being built across the Missouri River will probably alter the distribution of the indigenous fish fauna. The Little Missouri River, one of the larger tributaries to be affected by inundation, enters the Missouri River in central North Dakota above Garrison Dam. Now nearing completion, this dam will form a large reservoir that at maximum size will flood about 40 miles of the Little Missouri River. In order to determine the species and distribution of fish before the river is altered, the senior author and his wife spent the months of June and July, 1950, collecting fishes from this river, in Wyoming and North Dakota.
