Have any of you ever seen this or own it?

Described as:

Nearly 800 native fish species inhabit the freshwater rivers, streams, and lakes of the United States. Only about 5% of these are sport fishes like trout and bass. The remaining 95% are little known, but colorful, nongame fishes, such as darters, minnows, and dace. These species, though not pursued by anglers, are nontheless important. They serve us and their environments in many ways and deserve our protection. Nongame fishes are an important ecological link in the food chain, feeding on insects and serving as prey for sport fishes. Unfortunately, nongame fishes have declined in abundance and diversity during the last 20 years or so. Their survival is threatened by water pollution, habitat destruction, siltation, dam building, and introductions of nonnative fishes. At present, nearly 20% of the native freshwater fishes in North America are imperiled; meaning that they are endangered, threatened, or of special concern. This video explores efforts to restore and conserve our native fishes.
Runtime: approx. 28 minutes.

Get a copy if you can - it's not outstanding, but it's worth having.
