The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Ashland Fishery Resources Office, conducted fish surveys of inland waters at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, targeting species likely to occur in the park but not yet confirmed. Using gill nets, Windermere nets, and backpack electrofishing equipment, USFWS captured 595 fish representing 21 species. The western blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus) is the only new species confirmed during this survey. The researcher provided recommendations for further intensive sampling of targeted species and routine monitoring for new species.
