I have a book published in 1977 called "Fisheries Investigations and Management in Rhode Island Lakes and Ponds", put out by the RI F&W. This book is fantastic, with surveys of every body of water found in my state. Depth chart maps and line graphs on total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and temp from 0 ft to the bottom are included for each pond along with a table of "species captured, observed, or stocked" in each. Of course it is mainly game type fish, but the table does include golden shiner and brindle shiner. I don't think they put stuff like this out anymore.
