Abstract

Recapture of marked adult white suckers (Catostomus commersoni) showed evidence of homing to specific spawning sites at Many Point Lake in northern Minnesota. The pattern of recaptures also indicated a recurring time pattern for return of individual fish, some fish consistently returning to spawning sites earlier in the spawning run than others.
