Range and Identity
Ameiurus brunneus is recorded from selected Atlantic-slope systems from Virginia toward Georgia, with additional Florida and Apalachicola records. More recently reported peripheral localities should retain their actual drainage and identification evidence, rather than being treated as an unrestricted southeastern range.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit rocky riffles, runs and flowing pools in swift streams. Backwater records are described as uncommon. This difference matters because a general picture of bullheads in muddy still water would not accurately represent the habitat emphasized for this species.
Food and Life History
The reported maximum is twenty-nine centimeters total length. A species-specific maximum mass and detailed feeding account are not established in the retrieved summary. In particular, the word snail in the common name is not used as proof of an exclusive snail diet.
Field Note
Include current, bottom material and a clear head photograph with a record. Those details help distinguish both the habitat and identity of a bullhead found in flowing southeastern streams.
