Menidia audens were introduced into Upper and Lower Blue Lakes, and in Clear Lake, Lake County, during the fall of 1967, as a result of previous study indicating a high potential for this species as a biological control agent for aquatic midges, and as a forage species for game fishes. Although the species has not as yet been recovered from Upper Blue Lake, it is doing well in Lower Blue Lake, and has already become a predominant component of the fish fauna of Clear Lake.
