Protection International Protected as endangered in Wisconsin (Anonym- ous 1979). National Not specifically protected in Canada, although fish habitat sections of the Fisheries Act do afford general protection and populations, if they still survive, in Rondeau Provincial Park and Point Pelee National Park would receive protection from major habitat changes. Population Size and Trends The Pugnose Shiner was first reported in Canada in 1935 (Toner 1937). Subsequent collections were made during the early 1940s at Rondeau Bay, Long Point Bay and Point Pelee. Since the 1940s, only three collections of Pugnose Shiners, made in 1968, 1982, and 1983, have been reported from Canadian waters. During a 1979 survey, all known capture localities were sampled, but no Pugnose Shiners were captured (Parker and McKee 1980). However, a Royal Ontario Museum survey in 1982 did find Pugnose Shiners in large numbers in the Old Ausable River channel in Lambton County (Crossman, personal communica- tion) and near Mitchell's Bay, Lake St. Clair, in 1983. It seems apparent, however, that other small populations of the Pugnose Shiner may still exist in Canada. Collection and identification of this species are hampered by its small size, restricted distribution and habitat selectivity. Although there is insufficient data to evaluate the population structure of this species in Canada, we believe that, if present in Canada
