Range and Identity
Notropis blennius occurs in Hudson Bay and Mississippi drainage regions, extending through parts of central North America toward the Gulf. Broad source outlines should retain the actual river and collection date. A geographic range is not a map of equal abundance across all included waters.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit pools and main channels of medium to large rivers, usually over sand or gravel. This setting differs from a small spring headwater even when both occur within one drainage. Current and substrate add useful detail to a river-level occurrence record.
Food and Life History
Cladocerans and various immature aquatic insects are recorded prey. The maximum reference is thirteen centimeters total length, with 7.6 centimeters given as a common size. An independent maximum mass and precise migratory pattern are not established in the retrieved summary.
Field Note
Record whether the fish came from a main channel or a sheltered pool. Those observations help explain its location within a large, varied river environment.
