Bad news, a carp species made it to the great lakes. It's grass carp, but one invader got through. http://www.livescien...reat-lakes.html
Ok everyone, get your nets and tanks handy. A new species of Hammerhead was found off the Carolinas. Just in time for the next convention. http://www.livescien...rk-species.html
This one is off topic as it is not a North American species or sighting (thus sneaking it behind the on topic fish articles). This one is from Asia (where earlier in the year they found puffer with a giant circular nest). Someone caught a bizarre looking armored fish. It looks weird, like a mix of box fish and sea robin with a touch of gar mixed in for the scales. I have no idea what kind of fish it is or what it'd be related to. http://www.mirror.co...ng-rare-2682592

I am not sure if this first item is news, but it is new to me. I looked up new england fish books before and found freshwater fishes of NH (I own it), connecticut, and inland fish of mass (rare and hard to find) exist, but no others. But on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife page they announced a Fishes of Vermont book.
Also minnow news of sort (but not quite on topic as it is hook and line related). On November 20th a new Vermont record fallfish was caught,
You know those bright and colorful Appalachian minnows they have down south? He can eat ALL of them.

Well your Fishes of Vermont is supposedly a 2006 book, but I am always interested to know when those "state" books are out there. Its also news, because the state is selling it for less than anything I could find on a quick Amazon search.
And all minnow news is on topic, hook and line or otherwise... and that is one big minnow! Peterson's says they are the largest minnow in eastern North America and get 20 /14 inches... well this one is apparently 20.8 inches and over 3 pounds!

They look so much more to me like a Nocomis than a Semotilus. I am sure it is just my untrained eye.

A facility has captively hatched pupfish and aims to raise them.

Wow, that's an intense amount of money and effort going into one tiny fish. $4.5 million dollars to build an exact replica of Devil's Hole and a $250,000 annual operating budget. wowA facility has captively hatched pupfish and aims to raise them.

Oregon Chub becomes the first fish taken off the US Endangered Species List
http://ca.news.yahoo...-082317306.html
And this is real strange, but salmon are born knowing their migration route. I wonder how long landlocked populations retain that memory when not usable before losing it.

That's really cool.
I was questioning the other day why I found lotus pods disturbing (trypophobia), and then I saw a video of a howler monkey with bot fly larvae in its neck. The spacing of the seed pods and the spacing of the fly larvae look like the same thing, so it was sort of like our human trypophobia is inherited repulsion against myiasis. I wonder how inherited knowledge like that works. There are some mysteries maybe I'll never understand how it works. How much of who we are is inherited? It's an interesting question.

This is highly questionable at best. Trypophobia isn't really even a recognized phobia, and the connection to myiasis is just silly. Maggots eating your flesh? Yuck, just plain yuck (unless you have gangrene or something), without the fear of lotus pods, thank you. But the concept of instinct is indeed fascinating. A wonderful, fearful creation is the world we inhabit!

I read on the NH Fish and Game facebook page they used a large net to sample Great Bay for young Game Fish.They posted a list of species found and it was "smooth flounder, winter flounder, Atlantic silversides, blueback herring, Atlantic herring, striped and common killifish, grubbys, sticklebacks, northern pipefish, cunner, white perch, and Atlantic tomcod." Not quite sure what the atlantic herring and common killifish are (I suspect the latter is a mummichog) But it is a nice mix of fish.

Protected areas lead to an increase in size and numbers of California Sheepshead, who in turn are better at controlling urchin populations than smaller sheepshead

In the October 2016 issue of Discover Magazine their is an article entitled The Judas Fish about efforts to control the lake trout in Montana's Glacier National Park as they pose a threat to the native Bull Trout. The title refers to them putting tracking devices in the fish to find their spawning locations to control their population.
First Sunapee Lake, then Yellowstone Lake, now Glacier National park. Is the Lake Trout the ultimate cold water ecological wrecking ball?
