Bluntnose minnows (Pimephales notatus) can be recognized as individuals by the pattern of spots, most of which are caused by trematode cysts, on their dorsal surfaces and pectoral fins. Nesting males were captured, photographed, and released on several occasions. The pictures, as well as preserved collected specimens, allowed detailed study of the patterns of spots and enabled identification of many individuals. The behavior of the fish indicated no serious disturbance by the procedure.
