Objectives
1. Basic understanding of the Olympic Mudminnow diet
2. Observe how their diets vary from site to site and between seasons
3. Do they consume pests to any extent?

Summary
Mudminnow diet varied seasonally Mudminnow diet usually varied from site
to site Diet often varied with fish size Prey size varied widely Overall, mudminnow appear to an
opportunistic feeder

Summary Consumption of mosquitoes was
observed at one site during the summer Because mudminnow can be locally
abundant, they may be beneficial in reducing the abundance of some pests
