  7. Goldeye (Hiodon alosoides)Chris Gelner • Identification: dark-blue to blue-green sides, silver belly with sharp keel, large scales • Similar Species: Mooneye, origin of dorsal fin is in front of origin of anal fin • Distribution: inhabits larger streams in western southern and southeastern Iowa where it is considered rare; rarely found in Mississippi river Iowa DNR

  8. Goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) • Habitat: quiet slow moving waters of large rivers and muddy shallows of large lakes • Diet: nocturnal opportunistic carnivore, aquatic insect larvae, fish, worms, snails, waterfleas, sideswimmers, terrestrial insects, frogs, mice, shrews Mississippi River Resource Page

  9. Goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) • Reproduction: male and female spawn at 3 years old when water reaches 10 degrees C. Females can release 5,000-25,000 semi-floating eggs • Conservation status: although uncommon not listed as threatened because of its wide distibution Charting Nature Breck P. Kent

  10. Goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) • Economic value: low, few anglers target goldeye, important as a sport fish and commercially in Canada • Ecological value: probably unimportant due to its low numbers

  19. Northern Pike (Esox Lucius) Economic and recreational importance: big game fish Stocked in some lakes 5 2inch fingerlings per acre Ecological importance: species is a predator does not effect the population that much; tolerant to pollution very sensitive to warm water take fairly low oxygen Other: names common pike, northern jack fish, pickerel State record 25 pounds 5 ounces west Okoboji there is close season on fishing pike in west and east Okoboji and spirit lake from Feb.15 to May 2 daily bag limit is 3 with a possession of 6 Boundy rivers open year round bag limit 5 possession 10 except Big Sioux bag 6 possession 12 Canada Outfitters

  27. The TigerMusky By Nathan Wilhelm Other Names: Normie, Silver Northern www.pikemasters.com Esox masquinongy (Male Muskellunge) X Esox lucius (Female Northern Pike) Hybrid =

  28. Identification • Long Cylindrical Body • Olive to Dark Grey • Tiger Markings on Side • Jaws Shape Like Duckbill • Many, Prominent Teeth • Dorsal Fin Located Far Back • Cheek/Gill Characteristics of a Northern Pike • Body Characteristics of a Musky www.pikemasters.com

  29. Distinguishing From Northern Pike www.pikemasters.com www.lindenhurst.org • Easily Differentiated • Northern Pikes Have Light Bean-Shaped Spots • Tiger Muskies Have Dark Verticle Stripes and Spots Muskies, Not So Easy!

  30. Distinguishing From Musky Fin Ray Counts Not Helpful Tiger Musky: Darker Brown Markings Rounded Fins Cheek and Upper Half of Gill Scaled Similar to Barred Musky Strain Musky: Lighter Brown Markings Pointed Fins Only Upper Half of Cheek and Gill Scaled Multiple Strains

  31. www.kneedeepclub.org

  32. Distribution www.iowadnr.com • 34 Stocked Lakes in 1984 • Over 800,000 Fish Stocked • No longer Regularly Stocked • Habitat • Large,Clean Lakes and Rivers with Shallow Feeding Areas and Deeper Cool Areas • Prefer Weeds, Logs for Cover When Feeding

  33. www.gen.umn.edu Carnivorous Diet • Fish Hatchery: Prepared Foods or Zooplankton as Fry, Then Fish • In the Wild: Mainly Fish - Frogs – Small Mammals – Water Fowl • Reproduction • Can Occur Naturally From Northern Pike and Muskellunge, but Need Stocking to be Sustained • Usually Created in Hatcheries by Fertilization of Northern Pike Eggs By Muskellunge • Tiger Muskies Are Sterile, Except for Females Occasionally

  34. History and Conservation Status • 1965 First Hybrid at Spirit Lake Hatchery Created • 1978 Released Into 9 Southern Iowa Lakes • 1983 Occupying 27 Lakes • 1984 34 Iowa Lakes • State Record at 27 lbs. and 2 ounce, From West Okoboji Lake • No Regular DNR Stocking in Iowa • Season open all year except in West Okoboji Lake, East Okoboji Lake, Spirit Lake(closed February 15 to May 20) • The daily bag limit is 1 fish • The possession limit is 1 fish • Fish must be at least 40 in.

  35. Recreation • Important Game Fish Where They Are Found • Grow Faster Than Northern Pike and Muskellunge • More Apt to Strike Than a Muskellunge • Grows Larger Than a Northern Pike • Aggressive Fighters Ecological Significance • Most are Sterile so Population Easily Managed • At the Top of Food Chain When Adults • Piscivore: Can Help Keep Populations of Smaller Fish in Check
