  Pearl Dace
The pearl dace (Margariscus margarita Cope, 1868) is a cyprinid fish native to Montana.
The S2 ranking is appropriate for the pearl dace in Montana given its somewhat limited geographic range in the State, its possible decline in some areas, the low number at which it typically occurs, its vulnerability in other states and provinces, and the potential threats from introduced piscivores and anthropogenic disturbances.

  Common Dace Information & Care - Rate My Fish Tank
The Common Dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) is a freshwater or brackish fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, also known as the Dare or the Dart.
The Common Dace natively lives in a temperate climate and prefers water with a 6.0 - 8.0 pH and an ideal temperature range of 39 - 72 °F (4 - 22 °C).
The Dace is a lively, active fish, of gregarious habits, and exceedingly prolific, depositing its pale yellow eggs in the spring at the roots of aquatic plants or in the gravelly beds of the shallow, flowing streams it frequents.

(1990) found dace throughout the 14 km of stream they sampled, the dace were common only in the lower reaches of the stream where the dominant habitat types were runs and riffles with gravel and cobble substrates.
Dace were present in "fair numbers" in 1993; in a 68 m section of stream 29 dace were captured with three passes of an electrofisher (J. Deinstadt, pers.
Overall, it appears that the remaining populations of Santa Ana speckled dace in the Los Angeles River were extirpated during the past ten years and that dace in the Santa Ana River system are in imminent danger of extinction.

 Dace
Possible reasons for the decline in dace populations are low flows leading to poor spawning and increased predation from cormorants.
In poorer environments dace will have a broader diet feeding on a wide range of small invertebrates that are either picked from the drift or from the river bed.
Spawning: Dace are the earliest spawning of all coarse fish.

It was reported from the Sheyenne River in 1926 by Hubbs and Schultz (24), from the Wild Rice, Sandhill, and Poplar (Clearwater) rivers in Minnesota by Olson (1932), and from the Mud River, a tributary of lower Red lake, in 1938 by Deason and Nelson (24).
The flnose dace is usually found in small streams (Eddy and Underhill 1974), with swift, clear or slightly turbid waters which are 0.1-0.5 meters deep, and with substrates of gravel or sand (Becker 1983).
In Canada the flnose dace is present in the Saskatchewan, Assiniboine, Souris, Red, English, Winnipeg, and Nelson rivers (Crossman and McAllister 1986).

As late as 1952, lake chub were common in the Middle and West branches of the Westfield; however, surveys conducted between 1977 and 1990 have failed to locate this species in the Middle Branch and have only found a few specimens in the upper East and West branches.
In western Massachusetts, longnose dace are common in clear hill streams with riffles, boulders and gravel.
Longnose dace are absent from almost all of the eastern part of the state except in upland tributaries to the Nashua River.

The rosyface shiner (Notropis rubellus) and southern redbelly dace (Phoxinus erythrogaster) are small minnows that live in the rocky areas of streams.
The rosyface shiner is found statewide, and the southern redbelly dace occurs in the southern half of the state.
The southern redbelly dace has, as its name implies, the strongest red (or sometimes bright yellow) on its belly, grading to a yellowish or reddish brown on its back.

 "Iowa Fish & Fishing" - southern redbelly dace
The southern redbelly dace is distributed throughout the upper portions of the Winnebego, Shellrock, Wapsipinicon, Turkey, Maquoketa, and Mississippi rivers in northeast Iowa, and scattered populations exist in northwest, central and east-central streams.
The southern redbelly dace is one of the most strikingly beautiful fish in the Iowa fauna.
The southern redbelly dace was originally listed in the genus Chrosomus, but it is currently in the genus Phoxinus, which links the native genus to the old world genus of the same name.

Common names used for this subspecies other than the Federal Register common name are Foskett Spring dace (03), Foskett Spring speckled dace (05), and Foskett Spring dace (04).
At the time the reservoir was in existence, the population of dace is assumed to have been at their all time high (04,06).
Future perceived threats are essentially the same as the past reasons for decline, although the dace population has seemed to have stabilized to a point compatible with present use of the area by cattle.

 Minnow Family Cyprinidae
The abundance of minnows may be attributed to three factors: they can occupy a great variety of habitats, most species require a relatively short period of time to reach breeding age, and a large number of minnows can occupy a small space and find sufficient food and shelter because of their small size.
Sand and pebbles are placed upstream in a long ridge parallel to the course of the stream and varying from 1 to 18 feet in length.
The common shiner is the most versatile of the minnows; it may excavate a small depression in or above riffles, or it may spawn over the nest of other species, such as the creek chub, river chub, and cutlips.

Carps, minnows, shiners, daces, chubs and their relatives comprise 53 species in fresh waters across Canada and 22 in the NCR, 2 of which are exotic or introduced.
The Common Carp is found in lakes, canals and marshes and slow-moving rivers, and possibly even some sewers in the Ottawa River drainage (http://mywebpage.netscape.com/thewizardoffish/2.htm, downloaded 7 June 2003).
This species is identified by the strongly decurved lateral line with 39-57 scales, a naked, fleshy ventral keel between the pelvic fins and the anus on the belly mid-line and 7-18 (usually 11-13 in Canada) branched rays in the anal fin.

Life history and habitat requirements: The Longnose Dace are similar in appearance to the Blacknose Dace but lacking the dark band around the snout and along the body.
The Longnose Dace prefers the moving waters of swift riffles over boulder, cobble, or pebble and gravel-bottom streams, avoiding pools and quiet water.
Longnose Dace are insectivores, preying heavily on larval flflies and midges.
