History & Status of the Fishery
A targeted survey of nearshore fish species in Lake Emily was conducted on 20 July 2023 by DNR Fisheries staff. Sampling sites were evenly spaced around the lake and each was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 50-foot or 15-foot seine, where possible. Backpack electrofishing was completed at 8 sampling stations. Similarly, a 50-foot seine was used to sample 9 stations and site conditions prevented the use of seines at 1 station. Nearshore sampling captured 12 species of fish including 1 species that is intolerant of disturbance (Iowa Darter) and 3 that are tolerant of disturbance (Bigmouth Buffalo, Common Carp, and Green Sunfish).
The nearshore data were combined with trap net and gill net data from a standard survey to describe the fish community and provide a Fish-based IBI (FIBI) score. The FIBI uses fish community data to measure a lake's health, and the types of fish species present can help identify any stressors that may be negatively affecting the lake environment. In Minnesota lakes, certain fish species cannot survive without clean water and a healthy habitat (e.g., Iowa Darter), while other species are tolerant of degraded conditions (e.g., Bigmouth Buffalo). The FIBI score, composed of several fish community diversity and composition metrics, indicates the overall health of a lake by comparing it to what is expected for a healthy lake. For additional information on the FIBI, search for "lake index of biological integrity" on the mndnr.gov website.
Data from this survey will contribute biological information about the health of the fish community to the Minnesota River - Mankato Watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency.
