American food and game fishes : a popular account of all the species found in America, north of the equator, with keys for ready identification, life histories and methods of capture . COMMON REDHORSE SUCKER, Mcuosloiua durcolinn. CARP SUCKER OR QUILLBACK. Curr The Redhorses This is a large genus, comprising not fewer than 20 species,all of which occur in the eastern United States in the Atlanticand Gulf drainages. There is no representative of the genus onthe Pacific Coast. They inhabit both streams and lakes, butprefer the streams. Their spawning time is in the spring,when they run up the rivers and into the smaller streams,sometimes in very great numbers. The species are difficult to distinguish and have been unduly multiplied by authors. They are less tenacious of life than the species of Catostomus, but equal them in food value. 3 Of the 20 species only about 5 attain a sufficient size to *< make them of much value for food. The remaining 15 species, t: which are mostly of small size, are the following: ^ Sucking mullet (M. collapstim), lowland streams of North ^ Carolina; thick-cheeked sucker (M. biicco), Missouri River at r St. Joseph; Pedee sucker (M. pidiense), Great Pedee River basin; ^vvQ b
