#17/179:
Johnny Darter
Etheostoma nigrum

Picture
 Captured 10/20/20, Red Cedar River, MI near Williamston, MI.  Method: Electrofishing. Watershed: Lake Michigan (Grand R. watershed)

​Notes: My students always remember Johnny Darters.   I don't know if it's the funny name, or the relatively bland color pattern.  This is a really common fish when I go electrofishing.  Johnny Darters can be easily identified by the pattern of W's, X's, and Y's along their midline.
