Klamath smallscale sucker

The Klamath smallscale sucker lives in the demersal, freshwater environment.

The Klamath smallscale sucker appears to have a life history similar to other species such as the Sacramento and mountain suckers. Smallscale suckers are found primarily in deep slow pools of major rivers, though they may also occupy slow stretches of tributary streams and reservoirs. More

The Klamath smallscale suckers have been observed feeding in schools along stream bottoms and are often found in association with speckled dace, sculpins, and juvenile steelhead. Spawning of this species occurs in springtime, and adults move into tributary streams to breed. More
