چکیده
While the Otsego Lake watershed supports a large diversity of fish species, the list present in the watershed has been continuously updated since the original publication by McWatters (1980,1983). New species have been documented by Hayes and Foster (1989), Foster (1989), Foster and ColIura (1990), and Brooking ( 1991) and the extinction of a species has also been reported by Lehman el al., (1990).
