However, it is agreed that this species Silver shiners usually occur in schools ofmixed size classes (Trautman 1981). Growth of silvershiners is rapid, particularly during their first year. Thefish are sexually mature at age two, and most reach aspawning behavior has not been observed (Parker andThe silver shiner is primarily a surface feeder, but willtake prey from the mid-water as well.

In order toprotect Michigans silver shiner populations, human-induced habitat changes need to be limited.
