Distribution of Fishes in the Red River of the North Basin on Multivariate Environmental Gradients
Amiidae
Bowfin
Amia calva Linnaeus, the bowfin, was first collected in the Red River basin from Little Pine Lake (Otter Tail River) in 1955 (Eddy et al. 1972) (Figure A3). It has since been abundant in the lakes of the Otter Tail River drainage, and about 100 bowfin were taken from Graham Lake (Mustinka River) by MDNR FISH (1994) during a rough fish removal operation. It has not been reported from any other streams in the basin, including the Buffalo and Wild Rice river drainages, which include waters geographically near to those of the Otter Tail River.
