Loch Leven, a 6-thousand-acre floodplain reconnection project on the MS River is proving that fish migration has greatly improved. The Alligator gar species declining for years is now spawning regularly at Loch Leven.

BOOM. Minnesota passed the most comprehensive native fish conservation law in the country These species have long been loosely managed, with high harvest limits if any, little monitoring of population or research into their biology, reproduction & habitat stcroix360.com/2024/05/minne…

Not that i have to tweet this i must say: To Aaron Jones, Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for my team, my life, the people you’ve inspired, how you played the game was a true honor to see. I remember back on March 5th, 2020 U sent me a DM thanking me for all the edits and graphic design i made for you. That meant more to me than you would ever know. Then on May 16th, 2020. You and I and a few others fans hopped on a zoom call and talked to us for like 20 minutes and I remember you personally thanking me again for the creations I made. I wish you nothing but the best for you, your family, and all of you future endeavors. You have fan in me for life. Thank you @Showtyme_33

"The Spot" from the fish #SpiderVerse
There are a lot of colorful fishes on the reef, but some are impressive for their lack of color! The Midnight Angelfish (Centropyge nox) is probably the darkest one of all, almost looks like a black whole in the picture! #ichthyology

Short clip of a Hornyhead Chub male building a rock mound. Mounds like these will be used by several other species to spawn as well.
