Scott Koine a David Jamie Frank coach John Haines OUTDOORS By GEORGE HOARE Sturgeon Now Considered Rare Second Initalment of an article written by Fisheries Inventory official on rare and endangered species or fish Before going further it might be to Identify what we mean by rare and endangered species We have many species of fish in Ontario which are at the extreme edge of their northern range Many of these fish while they may be rare in Ontario are abundant south of the border The spotted gar a long cigar shaped fish with a lengthy beak like snout and a tough armour like covering of diamondshaped platesofbone isfoundonlyinlhe shallow weedy waters of Lake Erie the Detroit River and Lake St Clair The same holds true for the grass pickerel which occurs only In southern Ontario Other fish in this same category are the lake chub sucker the silver chub the pugnose darter the least darter and the gravel chub All of these fish have extremely limited occurrence In southern Ontario because they are close to the end of their northern range Water temperature appears to be the limiting factor here since environmental factors such as food habitat and spawning facil itles seem suitable A truly rare fish is one which is found only in a limited area and not anywhere else or one which is extremely scarce over a wider range One example of such a fish in Ontario might be the aurora trout This fish a form or the brook trout was originally found only in White Pine Lake in the forest reserve and in two adjacent lakes Whirligig and Little While Pine None have been taken from the latter two lakes for ten years It has recently been planted in other nearby lakes but due to the presence of brook trout it is likely that only hybrids are now present TRUE SPECIES Unlike the brook trout the aurora did not have red or light coloured spots and dark illations The and fins were Golden Jets Tigers Giants litfires under birds Stingrays P 12 6 18 12 3 15 11 10 0 South P L P

those who caught it described it as a uniquely beautiful fish There is some doubt among ichthyologists as lo whether or not this fish was a true species Scolt and do not list aurora trout in their checklist or Canadian freshwater fishes Another example of a rare Ontario fish a dwarf form of the lake which has been reported only from Lake Opeo- in Algonquin Provincial Park Although the population of this fish is restricted to small areas it Is apparently In no danger of extinction since it Is not being exploited Sometimes a species was thought to be rare simply because surveys had not been carried out or because the proper gear had not been used for cat For example the pigmy whitehsh is common in Lake Superior but eluded capture until trawls were first used in lK3 Also the Arctic char was unknown In the province until it was found in the Severn and rivers both tributaries of Hudson Bay when fisheries survey work was conducted In the early 1960s CHANGES Environmental changes and direct fishing pressure have greatly reduced certain fish populations which were once abundant in Ontario The lake sturgeon was once plentiful throughout mosl of the large lake and river systems of Ontario but now numbers have dwindled Several factors contributed to the decline of the sturgeon papulation In pioneer days it was considered a nuisance since it tangled nets set for other species and the fish itself then had little commercial value As a result sturgeons systematically destroyed In large numbers The true value of sturgeon flesh and caviar was not realized until the population had been greatly reduced The downward population trend was further accentuated through Ihc construction of dams which cut off spawning grounds Because of their slowness reaching sexual maturity mail don mature until 12 to 19 yean of age and females until between 14 and years and the fact that spawn every second year sturgeon are extremely susceptible to overfishing ror one or a combination of more than one of the above reasons this fish is now considered rare in many parts of its range in On tario ELIMINATED At one time the Cisco and the Cisco were both abundant in Lakes Michigan and Huron A combination of factors appear to have eliminated these fish The arrival of the parasitic sea lamprey through the Wei land canal eliminated the lake trout from these lakes The trout had fed heavily smelt and and pa rent kept the population of these fish in check with the lake trout gone the population of smelt and ale wives increased enormously and competed with the for food anil cm niches The cisco population began a rapid decline and finally disappeared The cisco has not been ported since 1655 and the not since The blue pike blue pickerel blue walleye was once in Lakes Erie and Ontario was an important fish in the takes At the peak of the fishery in the mid 1950s twelve million pounds were harvested annually Destruction of the environment through pollution caused the population to crash and by the mid 1960s twelve million pounds ere harvested annually The commercial fishery for this fish has gone and the fish itself may be extinct Well Be At The FAIR
