Have You Seen A Pumpkinseed Fish In New York State? - wyrk.com

After the wildfire smoke clears and you can get some fresh air, perhaps some fishing will be in the future? New York State has some amazing places to fish and one of the smallest is the pumpkinseed fish!

Fishing is a great way to bring the family together. Many people have some great memories of fishing at camp when they were kids or fishing with grandpa. The first fish you most likely caught was in a pond or small creek somewhere near the house. That fish was probably a "sunny", right? Maybe. But it also may have been a pumpkinseed.

According to Wikipedia, a pumpkinseed fish is better described as:

Pumpkinseeds have a small body that is shaped much like a pumpkin seed (thus the common name), typically about 10 cm (4 in) in length, but can grow up to 28 cm (11 in).[2] They typically weigh less than 1 pound, with the world record being 1 pound 8 ounces caught by Robert Warne while fishing Honeoye Lake in Upstate New York.

New York's Pumpkinseed Fish

One of the most unique lakes to catch one of these little fish is Lime Lake in Machias, New York. Lime Lake is actually home to a few unique varieties of fish.

Lime Lake provides angling for largemouth bass, tiger muskellunge, walleye and several species of panfish. Summer months bring heavy recreational boat traffic so many anglers prefer to fish early or late in the day. Anglers should note that the lake experiences oxygen depletion below the depth of 20 feet from June-September.

Good luck this summer and if you get a chance, take a kid fishing! It is one of the most rewarding things you will experience!

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
