what are all the fishes in mississippi river?

Answer 1

-The Mississippi River supports over 200 fish species from Minnesota to Louisiana.
-Freshwater drum, channel catfish, gizzard shad, smallmouth buffalo, and carp were common in trawl catches in both rivers. Fishes typically thought of as large-river species (e.g., shovelnose sturgeon) were abundant only in the Mississippi. We also caught relatively rare river fishes like lake sturgeon and blue sucker only in the Mississippi River.
-Our most diverse catches occur in September and October, when river flows typically are lowest and temperatures are moderate. Under these conditions, fish common in backwaters (e.g., bigmouth buffalo, shortnose gar, and black crappie) can be found in the main channel.

If what you mean by this is what are all the species of fish in the Mississippi River the answer varies depending on what point at the Mississippi you are talking about.

There is everything from Blue Gill to Long Nose Gar (and everything else inbetween) in there. Just depends if you are talking about up in Minneapolis or down in St. Louis.

Answer 3

There are over 250 species of fish in the Mississippi River and around 100 different species of mussels (in case you were including shellfish)

Included in this list are several varieties of trout, sturgeon, paddlefish, carp, lamprey, gar, pike, shad, perch, minnows and catfish (along with many others)... all in all around 25% of all the fish species in North America can be found in the Mississippi River

Answer 4

It depends where along the mississippi you're talking about..... I'm on the river close to where it originates in Minnesota... Im sure there are different fish here than in Louisiana... Up here we have alot of carp, walleye, bass...

Answer 5

If you live near the Mississippi, you can contact your state DNR and get a list, if not contact any state DNR on the Mississippi and I'm sure they will furnish you with a total list.
