Members -
Watch your mailboxes. The winter issue of American Currents is an eye-catching, colorful cavalcade of native fish accounts. Topics include:
Herrings in peril
Technological breakthroughs in solo seining
Stippled studfish spawnings
Reproductive behavior of Great Plains fishes
Newly-described species of sculpins and darters (one of which is a crystal darter!)
Plus - Chris Scharpf has graciously and skillfully condensed several unwieldy references on fish zoogeography into a single, elegant account of the mechanisms influencing fish distribution. Read it and you will be an instant expert.
Also - Bob Muller's first-hand report on spawning scaly sand darters is fascinating. It provides an interesting counterpart to recent observations by researchers at the University of Central Arkansas who are working with western sand darters. Both species bury themselves completely in the gravel (without their eyes protruding above the surface of the substrate) and both species apparently do not feed during the spawning season.
And - of course - there is much, much more.

Just finished reading my copy of the AC. Wow! What a great publication! Lots of pictures and lots of info, all rolled-up into one neatly-bound magazine. Thanks to all involved in bringing this publication to us! You are much appreciated!

Yours come all ready, or did you get an advanced copy? I ask only because I've not seen it yet!(and as a new member...am eager for the first one).

There is a fairly large range of actual delivery dates, I never get mine until about 4 weeks of postings about how great it is :cry: But its always worth the wait!

Regional Reps get a different shipment separate from the bulk mailer. Although this time I got both within days of each other. Previous times were a span of about 2 weeks. If you don't get it in say... 3-4 weeks then we can start tracking it down.

Got my bulk mailing and my personal copy within 1 day of each other. I know what you mean about waiting for it, though. It's kind-of like waiting for Christmas Day to come when you were a kid. Or is that just me??? :wacko:

No it is not just you... particularly when the weatheris bad, or the family activities limit my time, the AC is Christmas!

I got mine about a week ago and I'm not even a regional rep. Great issue. Read it once and reading it again.

Oh, forgot to mention, mine came the day after I posted that last question! Great journal!
