Range and Identity
Etheostoma gore is retained as the scientific identity of this entry. The checked account places the species in Kentucky and Tennessee. A broad state-level statement is not a survey of every stream, and individual locality records should retain their original identification and date.
Habitat and Behavior
The available summary does not establish a precise substrate preference, seasonal movement or detailed feeding list. Those gaps should not be filled automatically with the biology of another darter from the same general region. Similar locality or coloration does not make two species interchangeable.
Food and Life History
The upper length reference is 4.3 centimeters standard length, with a smaller female value in the compilation. Standard length excludes the caudal fin. An independently supported maximum mass and complete reproductive account were not established in the checked material.
Field Note
Keep exact stream and specimen information alongside measurements. That makes a record useful for future comparison without turning a broad regional account into an unsupported claim of current occupancy everywhere.
