Range and Identity
Semotilus lumbee occurs in south-central North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina, including portions of the Cape Fear, Pee Dee and Santee drainages. The geographic Sandhills region and the river basin answer different questions about a locality, so both are useful in a record.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit flowing pools and runs in headwaters, creeks and small rivers. Sand and gravel are documented bottom materials. This combination describes a stream-associated fish without implying that every occurrence must be in a steep, boulder-filled mountain channel.
Food and Life History
The compiled upper length is twenty-four centimeters total length, compared with a common reference of 13.6 centimeters. An independent maximum weight and a directly documented migratory schedule are not established in the retrieved summary. Nest behavior of another Semotilus species is not automatically assigned here.
Field Note
Preserve the exact tributary and drainage when comparing observations. Neighboring Sandhills streams can belong to different river systems while offering superficially similar habitat.
