Lucius lucius (Linn.), Common Pike. 



A market specimen from Oneida Lake was seen Nov. 

 30, 1915, which weighed 14 pounds and was 38 inches 

 long. Locally this is known as the Spotted Pickerel or 

 Pickerel. 



Ambloplytes rupestris (Rafinesque), Rock Bass. 



Apparently common in the lake. Small ones under two 

 inches in length were frequently taken on the shoals and 

 in creeks entering the lake. In deep water, twelve to 

 eighteen feet deep near Grassy Island, a number of large 

 ones were caught in the trap nets. 



Pomoxis sparoides (Lacepede), Calico Bass. 



A small specimen from Lower South Bay, and other 

 specimens from the market at Brewerton. Locally known 

 as Strawberry Bass. 



Lepomis cyanellus (Rafinesque), Green Sunfish. 



A small one taken in a minnow trap set in Big Bay 

 Creek, near its mouth. 



Eupomotis gibbosus (Linn.), Common Sunfish, Pumpkin- 

 seed. 



Abundant in the lake. The only sunfish found in the 

 lake by us that was abundant. Many small ones were 

 taken in shallow water, but they were in greatest num- 

 bers on shoals with much plant life. Many large ones 

 were in the trap nets that we saw raised from deep water 

 near Grassy Island. 



Micropterus dolomieu (Lacepede), Small-mouthed Black 

 Bass. 



Small ones were frequently found on shoals and in 

 creeks. A number were in the trap nets raised near 

 Grassy Island. The species is propagated at the State 

 Fish Hatchery at Constantia.
