About 6,000 fish were released in Upper Blue Lake and 3,000 in Lower Blue Lake and Clear Lake. Within a year the silversides were abundant in Lower Blue Lake and Clear Lake. They have since been widely distributed in California through experimental introductions by the Department of Fish and Game, illegal introductions by bait fishermen and dispersal via man-made waterways.
