Range and Identity
Moxostoma anisurum occurs across several northern and central North American basin regions and selected southeastern Atlantic drainages. Other redhorses can occupy the same waters. A silver body or reddish fins should not be treated as a complete identification without supporting features.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit pools and runs in rivers of different sizes, occasionally occurring in lakes. Recorded bottom materials range from mud to rock. This broad substrate use is more accurate than assigning the species only to one type of coarse, fast riffle.
Food and Life History
The upper length reference is seventy-four centimeters total length. Foods include immature midges, mayflies and caddisflies taken from aquatic habitat. A notably high compiled weight could not be corroborated independently and is not presented here as a securely established maximum.
Field Note
Include mouth details and the complete body when photographing a redhorse. Reliable species identification is the first step toward making a length or weight record useful.
