    Mackerel most often dwell at the surface of the water, where oxygen content is higher (Jordan and Evermann, 1896-1900, p. 866).

Whiting can be found in mud and gravel beds where they feed on animals like crab, shrimp, mollusks, and other bottom feeders (ARKive).

    Orangespotted Sunfish are lotic fish found primarily in rivers and reservoirs and are tolerant of turbid water. The muddy, slow moving water found in the Big Sioux River and the Cheyenne River is a common place to find these fish. They range throughout the Great Lakes, to Texas, and to Ohio. Orangespotted Sunfish are the sunfish most adapted to pollution and turbid waters of low-quality water, which is why they can expand their range widely while other sunfishes cannot as easily. They have expanded farther eastward since 1990 and across the entire state of Ohio. They obviously have a high enough survival rate to expand that far in that short of time. Also, the rivers provide a large connection for the sunfish to flourish. Orangespotted Sunfish are more abundant in pools than any other habitat like runs or riffles and prefer places where refuge is nearby. They will reside in pools, then scatter in fallen logs and in holes between rocks to take…
