Winterkill an issue for fish

When we talk about winter wildlife mortality in North Dakota, most people think of pheasants or deer, as these species are often visible in the countryside along ditches, shelterbelts or harvested agricultural fields. While snow and cold create challenges for these animals on land, they can also make life difficult for fish under water, a situation that is much less obvious than pheasants or deer highlighted against a white background.
