Description
Gars (Lepisosteidae) are an understudied family of fishes that have been mismanaged for decades across the US1. Existing research on Longnose Gar (LNG) and Shortnose Gar (SNG) has focused on populations in the central and southern parts of their ranges2, 3, 4, whereas studies on peripheral gar populations are rare. Peripheral populations (those in MN) may exhibit varying traits from core populations, and understanding these differences is important for conserving species as a whole.
