Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Various habitats, ranging from small tributaries to large rivers and impoundments; most abundant over gravel or sand in moderate current or in lakes over sand and mud; reservoir-based individuals often migrate into small flowing streams to spawn; females apparently bury eggs in riffles or sand/gravel shoals (Mettee et al. 1996).
