New guide evaluates golden shiner baitfish production strategies in Minnesota

Minnesota faces an estimated annual shortage of about 10,000 gallons, or 80,000 pounds, of golden shiner, a popular baitfish. Imports of live baitfish are prohibited because they can introduce aquatic invasive species, fish diseases, parasites or other pathogens.
To help address the shortage, the Minnesota Sea Grant program and its partners published a guide to help current and prospective fish farmers evaluate how golden shiner baitfish production could enhance their operations and increase in-state production.

Outdoor Insights: Another liberal duck season for 2027?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last week released its annual waterfowl population survey, and despite mallard numbers dropping below 6 million birds, the Adaptive Harvest Management formula is again recommending a liberal duck season for 2027.
For years we heard from the feds that robust mallard numbers helped maintain liberal seasons, even while other species struggled. Per the report, we have 5.86 million mallards this year, down 11% from 2025, 26% below their long-term average, and 49% below their 2016 peak.
