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.
… Microplastics 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 …

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
… dominated the catch (77.9%), followed by suckers (family Catostomidae, 6.5%), and catfishes (Ictaluridae, 5.7%). Of the 21,204 fish collected, fathead minnow Pimephales promelas (40.9%), unidentified Hybognathus spp. (9.8%), and longnose dace Rhinichthys cataractae (7.8%) were the dominant …

Incipient Speciation in Freshwater Fish Species from Two Isolated Watersheds
… Darter) and <em>Catostomus commersonii</em> (White Sucker). In this study the number of chromosomes and their morphology, the morphological, meristic and osteological differentiation, and the genetic divergence of these fish populations from both rivers were investigated.</p> <p>The result of …

EFFECTS OF ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUNDS ON EARLY LIFE STAGES OF CANADIAN FISH SPECIES
… mykiss), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and white sucker (Catostomus commersonii). The overarching goal was to characterize species-specific responses to these contaminants and to identify molecular and apical endpoints that can help inform toxicological risk assessments. To achieve this …

Biological and Ecological Trait Associations and Analysis of Spatial and Intraspecific Variation in Fish Traits
… Chapter three 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 …

Distribution, Relative Abundance, and Reproductive Seasonality of Larval Fish in the Red River
… Common carp Cypritr j carpio, cyprinid spp. and white bass Morone crysops were more abundant near the surface than at mid-depth. Channel catfish Ictalurus pimctatus were more abundant at mid-depth than at the surface. There appeared to be no difference between the shore and midstream sampling …

The wetted ramp as a useful tool to service smaller-bodied finfishes at low-head acquatic barriers
… Creek 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 …

Some effects of the introduction of hard water into Carvin Cove Reservoir, Virginia
… of fish, especially gizzard shad and white suckers, were found in the area near the hard water inflow. Length-weight relationships and condition indices suggest that bluegills and bullheads were in better physical shape in 1968 than they were in 1951. An age and growth study on the …

An Evaluation of the Occurrence of Micronuclei and other Nuclear Abnormalities in Fishes from the Great Lakes Basin, United States
… or smallmouth 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 …

The Gut Microbiome and its Relationship to Migratory Behaviour and Fate in Wild Fishes
… using 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 …

Nutritional condition and stress response of fishes along a gradient of habitat quality in the St. Lawrence River: physiological consequences of anthropogenic habitat degradation
… of anthropogenic stream degradation, whereas white sucker Catostomus commersonii and pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus did not. Together, my results show that different species residing in identical habitats can demonstrate a variety of responses to environmental stress, highlighting the variation …
