Abstract
The goal of our project was to better understand taxa (fish, submerged aquatic vegetationSAV) and physicochemical factors (PCF) associated with the pugnose shiner Notropis anogenus
in three bays of Lake Ontario (Sodus) and the St. Lawrence River (Chippewa, Goose) and, using
this information, to assess the suitability of an unoccupied bay (Chaumont, Lake Ontario) for
establishing a new population by stocking. Our specific objectives were to 1) collect data on the
fish communities, SAV, substrate composition and PCF in the four bays, 2) determine population
and habitat characteristics of extant N. anogenus in Chippewa, Goose and Sodus Bays, and 3)
determine fish, SAV and PCF characteristics in Chaumont Bay then compare them to actual N.
anogenus habitat in Chippewa, Goose and Sodus Bays.
