Pitlo, J., A. VanVooren and J. Rasmussen (1995). Distribution and relative abundance of Upper Mississippi River fishes. Upper Mississippi River Conservation Committee Fish Technical Section, Rock Island, Illinois (USA).
A total of 156 species of fish have been collected and identified from the Upper Mississippi River since record keeping began late in the 19th century. Records of occurrence appearing in this document have been obtained from a variety of sources, including personal notations by field biologists, annual reports from various agencies, published reports in the scientific literature on the distribution of fishes in various regions, and the more recent habitat and community fish sampling initiated by the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP). This document is meant to provide a consolidated listing of species that presently occur, have occurred, or have been collected in the UMR. Rankings were assigned concerning distribution and relative abundance of those species throughout the river. This is the most up-to-date listing presently available for the UMR and appends earlier works by Nord (1976), Rasmussen (1979), and Van Vooren (1983). [abstract generated by bibliography authors]
