Trying to identify this fry
« on: May 24, 2020, 06:31:46 PM »
Some folks found these fry in a nearby creek. Any idea what kind of fish this is? The parr marks are very irregular and blotchy. Sockeye? Maybe too young to determine?



Here is a link to folder with more pics:

Thanks for any insights!

Thanks so much! I never would have figured that out but now that I have looked it up online, that's definitely what it is. I have never seen these in these streams but these kids were netting waterbugs and found dozens of them in the water. Cool! It's a little feeder creek into the Nicomeckl.

Not unexpected, but interresting to see the variation in colouration from the pics you posted (presumably of a resident freshwater stickleback) and the sea run stickleback in the this video, beginning at 4:20   

Edit: Doh!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI4ieCgZjVE

A video you are very familiar with,  Chris!

The Nicomekl itself has a large population of sticklebacks.
