“…Colby et al (1979) indicated that walleye generally disperse throughout available habitat shortly after spawning. At Dauphin Lake, Manitoba, walleye gill net catch rates were not significantly influenced by lake zone (Craig and Babaluk 1993).…”

“…Walleye were significantly more abundant in our limnetic gill nets, while yellow perch and white sucker abundances were higher in littoral zones. Craig and Babaluk (1993) found no significant difference in littoral and offshore CPUE values for yellow perch and walleye a t Dauphin Lake, Manitoba, but they found white sucker distribution to be related to zone. They believed increased turbidity might confine white sucker to inshore zones.…”

“…Stang and Hubert (1984) reported that plant cover and substrate type in the littoral zone influenced the distribution patterns for several fish species in Clear Lake, Iowa, a turbid prairie lake. Craig and Babaluk (1993) found most fish species to be caught inshore a t Dauphin Lake, Manitoba, even though the lake morphology was comparatively homogeneous.…”

Gill nets were used to determine the spatial and seasonal distributions of fishes in Lake Karnpeska (simple morphometry) and at Lake Enemy Swim (complex morphometry), South Dakota. Each season (spring, summer, and autumn) gill nets were randomly placed at littoral and limnetic sites and fished for approximately 24 h. Gill nets were allowed to fish for approximately 24 h. At Lake Karnpeska, 8 1 1 fishes were collected representing 16 species; statistical analyses were completed for five species. A total of 2,881 fishes was collected a t Lake Enemy Swim with analyses completed for seven species. Significant (R0.05) differences between littoral and limnetic gill net catch rates were identified during the spring a t Lake Karnpeska for walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), yellow perch (Percaflavescens), and white sucker (Catostomus commersonl). At Lake Enemy, Swim, significant differences between littoral and limnetic sites occurred for vellow perch (spring and autumn) and rock bass (Ambloplites rnpestris) (summer). Differences between median lengths of littoral and limnetic caught fidhes were identified for white sucker at Lake Kampeska and yellow perch and smallmouth bass (Micropterns dolomieu) a t Lake Enemy Swim. Significant seasonal differences in gill net catch rates and median lengths were identified a t both lakes.
