Moxostoma
''Moxostoma'', the redhorses or jumprocks, is a genus of North American ray-finned fish in the family Catostomidae. Redhorses are variable in size, geographic location, and other ecological traits such as spawning substrate. Several redhorses are long-lived (lifespans greater than 20 years), much like many other catostomid species. The silver redhorse is the longest-lived redhorse known by nearly a decade, with ages exceeding 40 years. Redhorses are broadly of conservation concern, as these long-lived species are highly intolerant to environmental pollution, habitat fragmentation, and are currently subject to unregulated 21st century sport bowfishing which is removing and wantonly wasting several of these species by the ton. Species The following 23 species are recognized in this genus: * ''Moxostoma albidum'' ( Girard, 1856) (Longlip jumprock) * '' Moxostoma anisurum'' (Rafinesque, 1820) (Silver redhorse) * ''Moxostoma ariommum'' C.

The current world record is , caught by Chris Stephenson on Pickwick Lake in Alabama, April 1995 and certified by National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. This species is of growing interest to rod-and-line anglers. The long-lived and late-maturing silver redhorse is also a sportfish pursued by kill-and-dump bowfishing, a 21st century unregulated sport that produces tons of wanton waste, and thus management and conservation are in need of updating.

Moxostoma Carinatum
The river redhorse (''Moxostoma carinatum'') is a species of freshwater fish endemic to the eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada. They can range from 10 to 30 inches in length and can potentially reach a weight of more than 10 pounds after maturity. It is typically found in clear, large creeks and rivers, though it is sometimes also found in lakes. They are sometimes speared or caught with hook and line using crayfish or worms as bait. A bottom-feeder, it feeds on mussels, snails, crustaceans and immature aquatic insects. Its common names include big-sawed sucker, river mullet, greater redhorse, redfin redhorse and redhorse sucker. It has the following characteristics: Distribution The river redhorse occurs throughout the central and eastern Mississippi River System and the Gulf Slope from Florida to Louisiana. In Canada, its distribution is characterized by disjunct populations in southern Ontario and Quebec as well as Alberta. This species has declined cons ...

Robust Redhorse
The robust redhorse (''Moxostoma robustum'') is a redhorse-type fish that lives in the freshwater streams of the eastern United States. It was previously called the smallfin redhorse. Taxonomy Using a specimen from the Yadkin River of North Carolina, naturalist Edward Drinker Cope first described the robust redhorse as ''Ptychostomus robustus'' in 1870. The holotype, original specimen was lost or destroyed, and by the late 19th century, all mention of the robust redhorse had ceased. It was thought to be extinct until several unidentified fish specimens were collected from the Savannah River and Pee Dee River in 1980 and 1985. In August 1991, biologists with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources officially rediscovered the species when five specimens of the fish were collected in the Oconee River, and identified as robust redhorse. Description ''M. robustum'' is a large, fairly long-living animal compared to other members of its family (biology), family; the fish can w ...

Moxostoma Hubbsi
The copper redhorse (''Moxostoma hubbsi'') is a North American species of freshwater fish in the family Catostomidae. It is found only in Canada. Its extremely small range, which is restricted to a few rivers in the lowlands of southwestern Quebec, has contracted significantly in the past few decades. Confirmed populations currently exist in the St. Lawrence and Richelieu rivers. Rivière des Mille Îles likely supports a remnant population. The copper redhorse is one of seven species of the genus ''Moxostoma'' (family Catostomidae) occurring in Canada. Its discovery has been attributed to Vianney Legendre in 1942, but it appears to have been first described by Pierre Fortin in 1866 as an already known species of the genus ''Moxostoma''. Habitat The copper redhorse occurs primarily in medium-sized rivers where water temperatures exceed 20 °C in summer. Spawning occurs in riffle areas where the current is moderate to slow and the depth ranges between 0.75 and 2 m, ove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
