Doug Dieterman was born and raised in Winona, MN. He has studied and published papers on a wide variety of stream-related topics including the effects of the Clean Water Act on prairie stream fishes, the ecology and management of fishes such as paddlefish and sicklefin chub (an imperiled minnow) in large floodplain rivers, and factors influencing fishes and fish management in the Driftless Area streams of southeast Minnesota. Past research in Minnesota has focused on factors influencing habitat use and growth in brown trout. Current research interests focus on how environmental factors such as floods and habitat conditions influence mortality and movement of various fish species including brown trout, smallmouth bass, and lake sturgeon in Minnesota rivers.
