Current Status and Distribution of Etheostoma exile (Iowa
Darter) and Erimyzon sucetta (Lake Chubsucker) in Ohio
Justin S. Baker1,2,*, Brian J. Zimmerman1, and Marymegan Daly1
Abstract - A rich fish assemblage that once thrived in the bays of western Lake Erie, and
Ohio’s glacial pothole lakes, wetlands, and clear prairie streams has changed over the past
century. Three species have been extirpated from many of their historic localities, with
surviving members reduced to relict populations. Recognizing that conservation efforts
for these sensitive species rely on accurate occurrence records, we present results from
2011–2012 surveys of Ohio’s glacial lakes and associated habitats for 2 native members
of this fish assemblage, Etheostoma exile (Iowa Darter) and Erimyzon sucetta (Lake Chubsucker).
We found previously undocumented populations of Lake Chubsuckers in 4 glacial
lakes and a previously undocumented population of Iowa Darters; however, comparing our
results to surveys completed in the 1980s indicates that both species have been extirpated
from many localities. A variety of factors including intensive agricultural practices, urban
development, and exotic species are likely the cause of their d ecline.
Introduction
In Ohio, nearly 90% of historical wetlands have been drained (Dahl 1990,
Fretwell et al. 1996). This includes a massive wetland, the Great Black Swamp,
which encompassed 3885 km2 in northwestern Ohio, extending from Lake Erie
to New Haven, IN (Kaatz 1955, Ohio Department of Natural Resources 1988).
Widespread drainage and other alterations have resulted in the patchy distribution
of native fishes in isolated marshes and glacial pothole lakes. Historical records
indicate that species native to these habitats have been declining. Notropis anogenus
Formes (Pugnose Shiner), Notropis heterodon (Cope) (Blackchin Shiner), and
Notropis heterolepis Eigenmann and Eigenmann (Blacknose Shiner) have been
extirpated from Ohio, and others are currently listed as endangered or threatened
(ODNR 2012, Trautman 1981). In this study, we assess the status in Ohio of 2
members of this listed fish assemblage: Etheostoma exile (Girard) (Iowa Darter)
and Erimyzon sucetta (Lacepède) (Lake Chubsucker).
The Iowa Darter has the most northern geographic range of any darter. It is
found throughout the interior of southern Canada, from Alberta to eastern Ontario,
and the northern United States (Page and Burr 2011). This species typically inhabits
clear glacial lakes, springs, and small streams that have dense beds of submerged
aquatic vegetation and a bottom of sand, peat, or organic debris (Trautman 1981).
The habits and behaviors of this species make it sensitive to increased turbidity and
the destruction of submerged aquatic vegetation. Trautman (1981) noted that Iowa

Darter has been greatly reduced in numbers in Ohio since 1930, with many historical
populations extirpated.
The Lake Chubsucker can be found along the Atlantic Slope from Virginia to
southern Florida, along Gulf Slope drainages to central Texas, within the central
Mississippi River valley, in eastern Midwest drainages, and in tributaries of the
Great Lakes (Page and Burr 2011). Across its range, the Lake Chubsucker occupies
glacial lakes, marshes, ditches, and the calm parts of streams having dense beds
of submerged aquatic vegetation with bottoms of sand or muck (Wall and Gilbert
1980). Trautman (1981) suggested that populations of Lake Chubsuckers are highly
intolerant of turbidity and siltation, although Jenkins and Burkhead (1993) suggested
that siltation might not be a general limiting factor. Before 1900, the Lake
Chubsucker was present in marshes along Lake Erie and possibly even the Ohio
River before dam construction (Osburn 1901, Trautman 1981). Other populations
that were once healthy, such as those present in East Harbor (Lake Erie) and Buckeye
Lake (Licking County), began declining after 1930 and were extirpated by 1950
(Trautman 1981).
The purpose of the present study was to update distribution records for Iowa
Darters and Lake Chubsuckers in the State of Ohio, the seventh most densely populated
state in the US (USCB 2014). Such an effort is necessary for any management
and conservation of these sensitive species. To assess the decline in these species
over the past 30 years, we compared our results with those of surveys of Ohio’s glacial
lakes completed in the fall of 1980 and the springs of 1981 and 1985 (Phinney
and Rice 1984; D. Rice, Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, Columbus, OH,
1985 unpubl. data).
Methods
We sampled 66 localities between April 2011 and June 2012 (Fig. 1). These included
glacial lakes, marshes, bogs, fens, remnants of the previous Ohio–Erie canal
system, and small streams. We selected sampling locations based on surveys by Phinney
and Rice (1984; D. Rice, 1985 unpubl. data) and previous records from the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA; D. Mishne, Division of Surface Water,
Groveport, OH, 1979 to 2010 unpubl. data). A total of 49 localities for the Iowa Darter
and the Lake Chubsucker were revisited; we did not revisit those that Phinney and
Rice (1984) judged as extirpated (e.g., Buckeye Lake, Licking County; Lake Erie, Ottawa
County). Locations that had not been sampled previously were also investigated
and were selected based on their proximity to nearby locations with records (e.g.,
Snow Lake, Geauga County). To enhance visibility, we completed surveys during
March to early August, prior to the full development of emergent vegetation.
We chose collecting methods based on the species targeted, habitat, and accessibility
of the sampling locality. Collections of Iowa Darters were made by
seining shoreline habitats using a 1.2 m × 2.4 m, 6.35-mm-mesh seine with a
chain-weighted lead line. To sample Lake Chubsuckers, we used a flat-bottom
jon boat, 4.3 m in length with a shallow draft, equipped with a 5.0 generatorNortheastern

powered pulsator (GPP) electrofisher unit (Smith-Root, Vancouver, WA).
Glacial lakes that were inaccessible with the electrofishing boat were sight-surveyed
using kayaks in early June. At this time, small, young Lake Chubsuckers
could be observed schooling in shallow water along with young-of-year
Notemigonus crysoleucas (Golden Shiners). We distinguished young Lake
Chubsuckers from young Golden Shiners by the distinct black band that extends
from the snout to tail and the black pigment on the anterior rays of the dorsal
fin characteristic of the Lake Chubsuckers. Voucher specimens of fish observed
via kayak were collected using dip-nets. All voucher specimens were first euthanized
with tricaine methane sulfonate (TMS, MS-222) and then preserved in
10% formalin in accordance with IACUC-approved protocol #2011A00000050
and deposited at the Ohio State University Museum of Biological Diversity. To
test for changes in the range (i.e., the number of sites occupied) of each species,
we compared presence–absence data from 1980–1989 and 2011–2012 at
the 49 sites visited during both periods using McNemar’s test (McNemar 1947,
Sokal and Rohlf 1995). This test is based on the null hypothesis that the number
of sites changing status from present to absent is equal to the number of sites
changing from absent to present (i.e., no change between periods in the number
of sites occupied by each species).

Results and Discussion
A total of 232 Iowa Darters were collected from 12 localities distributed across
7 counties (Fig. 1, Appendix 1). Four of the 12 localities were represented by 4 or
fewer individuals: Nettle Lake, Stewart’s Pond, Silver Lake (Logan County), and
Doke Lake (Appendix 1). Despite previous surveys (e.g., D. Rice, 1985 unpubl.
data), the three Iowa Darters collected from Stewart’s Pond (Portage County) were
the first reported from this location. The largest population of Iowa Darters we encountered
was from Round Lake (Ashland County), with 32 individuals caught per
hour. Despite multiple attempts, we failed to catch any Iowa Darters in Potter Creek
(Portage County), a locality first sampled successfully by OEPA in 2000. Seventeen
locations at which Iowa Darters had been recorded in the 1980s surveys by Phinney
and Rice (1984) yielded no specimens during our surveys (T able 1).
A total of 236 Lake Chubsuckers were collected from 16 localities distributed
across 8 counties (Fig. 1, Appendix 2). Only 1 of these (Turkeyfoot Lake, Summit
County) also harbored a population of Iowa Darters. Surveys of 4 glacial lakes
resulted in new records (Snow and Aquilla Lakes, Geauga County; Lake Kelso,
Portage County; Lemen Lake, Logan County). Additionally, a single individual was
collected from the Clear Fork Saint Joseph River (Williams County). The collection
of 7 individuals from Turkeyfoot Lake was the first record of Lake Chubsucker
from this locality since 1926. Our survey of 20 locations known to support populations
of Lake Chubsuckers during the 1980s suggests that only 7 still maintain
populations (Table 1).
Populations of Iowa Darters and Lake Chubsuckers are in decline in Ohio. The
range of Iowa Darters has contracted sharply from 57% of sites in 1980–1989 to
only 24% of sites in 2011–2012 when comparing 49 sites sampled during both periods
(P = 0.0017; Table 1). This change represents a 57% decrease in the number of
sites occupied by Iowa Darters since the 1980s. Moreover, one-third of those sites
currently occupied were represented by 4 or fewer individuals in our collections.
The pattern of decline is less clear with Lake Chubsuckers. When compared with
glacial lake surveys completed during the 1980s, Lake Chubsuckers showed a 45%
decrease in the number of lakes occupied (from 40% of sites in 1980–1989 to 22%
of sites in 2011–2012; P = 0.0859; Table 1). Collection records from Rice and Phinney
(D. Rice, 1993 unpubl. data), and OEPA (D. Mishna, 1995 unpubl. data) in the
1990s, however, indicate a substantial population in the Symmes Creek drainage
of southern Ohio in Gallia and Jackson counties (131 individuals caught from 10

localities; Fig. 1). Records from the West Branch Cuyahoga River (Geauga County)
also indicate another potentially large connected population of Lake Chubsuckers
in northeastern Ohio (D. Mishna, 1993 unpubl. data). Additionally, we report 4
new records of Lake Chubsuckers in separate glacial lakes, along with a population
in Turkeyfoot Lake that was thought to have been extirpated. Furthermore, our
surveys and those of ODNR (R. Moss, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Columbus,
OH, 2001 unpubl. data) indicate another potentially large population in the
Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area (Holmes and Wayne counties; Fig. 1). Thus, while
many glacial lake populations have disappeared since the 1980s, other populations
occupying separate glacial lakes, marshes, and streams have been discovered
(Sanders et al. 1999, this study). The decline over the past 30 years in number of
glacial lake populations of both Iowa Darters and Lake Chubsuckers are likely the
result of a variety of factors involving agricultural land-use practices, nearby urban
development, and exotic species.
Conclusions and conservation implications
The pattern of decline in the number of populations for two Ohio-native species
inhabiting glacial lakes and wetlands are not identical. The Lake Chubsucker
seems less impacted than the Iowa Darter, having generally larger populations and
being recovered in places from which it was previously thought to have been extirpated.
This difference may reflect broader physiological or historical factors, e.g.,
that Ohio populations of Iowa Darters are towards the southern limit of their range
and may fare less well than those of Lake Chubsuckers, for which Ohio is near the
middle of this species’ range. Alternatively, the difference may relate to sampling
strategy, as we were able to collect Lake Chubsuckers using electrofishing and sight
surveys, whereas Iowa Darters were collected via seining.
Differences in overall number of sites and populations withstanding, many
of the same factors likely contribute to the century-long decline in these species
in Ohio. Mitigation of these factors will likely benefit both species, although the
timescale and magnitude of recovery may differ between Iowa Darters and Lake
Chubsuckers. Increased communication with private landowners concerning better
land-use practices and lake management may help resolve several of these
issues (Carpenter and Lathrop 1999). In other cases, control of nonnative species
(e.g., Cyprinus carpio L. [Common Carp]) may be necessary to reduce turbidity
and improve water quality and the growth of submerged aquatic vegetation (Pinto
et al. 2005). Further management and conservation strategies could also involve
the captive propagation and/or translocation of species. For example, several of
the glacial lakes with records of Iowa Darters that we surveyed during this study
contained suitable habitat for possible reintroductions (e.g., Crystal Lakes, Summit
and Portage counties). Other glacial lakes such as Baker Lake (Champaign
County) and Stewart’s Pond (Portage County) have a high diversity of submerged
aquatic plants and may provide potential sites to introduce Lake Chubsuckers.
Similar conservation strategies could also be developed for other associated species
that once occurred in Ohio such as Notropis heterodon (Blackchin Shiners) and

N. heterolepis (Blacknose Shiners), with careful consideration given to the genetic
diversity of source populations used for reintroduction (Ozer and Ashley 2013), as
well as genetic differentiation among populations, which may indicate adaptation
to local conditions (McKay et al. 2005). Restoration of these sensitive species back
into Ohio’s glacial lake assemblage will require knowledge of current population
trends and potential factors associated with their decline, in addition to carefully
planned captive propagation and/or translocation projects.
