Maturation and Reproduction of the White Sucker (Catostomus Commersoni) in Lake Taneycomo, Missouri
Spawning season of white suckers in Lake Taneycomo, a cold water reservoir, lasted from early April to late May in 1994 and 1995. Evidence suggested that spawning took place in all tributaries of the lake but not in the lake itself. White suckers begain to mature at age 3 and at a length of 275 mm. …

Early-Life History of the White Sucker (Catostomus Commersoni) in Lake Taneycomo, Missouri
White suckers (Catostomus commersoni) were monitored during the 1994 and 1995 spawning periods to determine location and timing of reproduction, dispersal of larvae, and growth of sub-adult fish. Daily aging by the use of otoliths from lab reared white sucker larvae was validated to 28 days. …

Microplastics in White Sucker (Catostomus commersonii) and Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the Upper Thames River, Ontario.
… were examined in demersal fishes—white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio)—across 11 sites in the Thames River, Ontario. Microplastics were found in 44% of white sucker, ranging from 0-14 particles per fish, and 31% of common carp, ranging from 0-128 particles per …

Validation of Age Estimates and Comparisons of Growth Rates of the White Sucker, Catostomus Commersoni, in Three Southwest Missouri Populations
White suckers, Catostomus commersoni, were collected from three sites in southwest Missouri from September 1991 to February 1993 by electroshocking and seines. Total length, fork length, total weight, body weight, gonad weight, and sex data were collected from each fish. Sagittal otoliths were …

Upper Missouri River Basin Aquatic GAP Fish Distribution Model Accuracy Assessment and White Sucker, Catostomus commersonii, Population Characteristics in the Upper Missouri River Basin
… upper Missouri River basin is the white sucker, Catostomus commersonii. White suckers are a common and sometimes abundant species throughout much of North America, but information for entirely lotic populations in lacking in the upper Missouri River Basin. Specific data voids include: precision …

Recreational disturbance of a desert stream fish community: Detecting ecological effects of environmental impact
… recreation had lower abundance of desert sucker (Catostomus clarki) and lower community diversity than pools without recreation. Food availability measured as algal biomass and macroinvertebrate drift density was similar among all pools, but abundance of larval fish was lower in pools experiencing …

Movement of Forage Fishes in a South Dakota Stream
… Rhinichthvs atratulus, Campostoma anomalum and Catostomus commersoni were investigated in an eastern South Dakota stream for a period of one year. Electrofishing, fin clipping and a multiple census method were employed. Population structures were estimated for each species. Populations were …

The wetted ramp as a useful tool to service smaller-bodied finfishes at low-head acquatic barriers
… chub (Semotilus atromaculatus) and white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) were observed, using a high speed camera, as they attempted to scale the wetted ramp. Smaller fish traveled farther and were also able to accelerate on the ramp despite entering at lower velocities. Larger fish had relatively …

Evaluation of the Larval Fish Community in the Missouri River Below Garrison Dam, North Dakota
… Six taxa were collected: Stizostedion spp., Catostomus spp. (most likely�. commersoni), Ictiobus spp., Osmerus mordax, Moxostoma macrolepidotum, and Perea flavescens. Most fishes collected occurred in the drift later in the season than expected both years, and densities were considerably …

Some effects of the introduction of hard water into Carvin Cove Reservoir, Virginia
… An age and growth study on the white sucker, Catostomus commersoni, indicated that growth rates had doubled in the sucker after the Tinker Creek water was added.

Uptake of Mercury and Relationship to Food Habits of Selected Fish Species in the Shenandoah River Basin, Virginia
… affecting the bioaccumulation of mercury in Catostomus commersoni, Ictalurus punctatus, Lepomis auritus, and Micropterus dolomieu by studying food habits, total mercury and methylmercury in common prey items, and bioaccumulation dynamics of methylmercury in the mercury contaminated South …

An Evaluation of the Occurrence of Micronuclei and other Nuclear Abnormalities in Fishes from the Great Lakes Basin, United States
… bass ( Micropterus dolomieu). White sucker (Catostomus commersoni ) express MN at a lower rate when compared to smallmouth bass. Nuclear abnormalities rates exactly followed these trends. Brown bullhead tended to express MN and NA at a lower rate during the fall as compared to individuals …

Fish-Habitat Associations in Small Backwaters of the Upper Missouri River, North Dakota
… 17 were native to North Dakota. White suckers (Catostomus commersoni) and fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were the most abundant (45.2% and 26.5% of total catch respectively) and frequently occurring fishes collected (56.3% of backwaters sampled). Common carp ( (\prinus carpio ), shortnose …

Biological and Ecological Trait Associations and Analysis of Spatial and Intraspecific Variation in Fish Traits
… examines trait variability of white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) and fantail darter (Etheostoma flabellare) as a function of small-watershed scale spatial factors and anthropogenic disturbance. Toms Creek and Chestnut Creek white sucker and fantail darter displayed positive response to …

The Gut Microbiome and its Relationship to Migratory Behaviour and Fate in Wild Fishes
… 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing: white sucker (Catostomus commersonii), sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), and brown trout (Salmo trutta). Further, I highlighted the importance of transitioning to non-lethal sampling methods when studying wild fish microbiomes, especially in relation to …
