more abundant cyprinids, the central stoneroller is common in most fish collections (Harlan et al. 1987). Habitat Affinities: The central stoneroller occurs in a variety of habitats ranging from very small streams to large rivers (Etnier and Starnes 1993). More

Size of Central StonerollerTypically, the central stoneroller lives in small streams in riffle areas (shallow water where the flow is broken by the stones and gravel on the streambed). It feeds at the bottom on tiny plants, insect larvae and mollusks. More

The Central stoneroller is widely distributed through central and eastern streams of the United States and is often very abundant locally. It inhabits the rocky bottoms of riffles and pools in small streams to medium size rivers. More

The central stoneroller (Campostoma anomalum Rafinesque) was not collected by early investigators in the Red River basin. Cox (1897) listed it as present but not common in the Minnesota and Pomme de Terre rivers. The first report from the Red River basin was by O. More

Campostoma anomalum (Rafinesque), the central stoneroller, was first reported from the Red River basin by O. Kalin, University of North Dakota (UND), from the Forest River on August 6, 1960 (Nordlie et al. 1961) (Figure A17). More

Features: The Central Stoneroller (Campostoma anomalum) lives in medium to small- sized streams where it scrapes algae off the bottom with its specialized mouth. Sometimes called a "stream cow", it can dramatically alter the flora and fauna of a stream where it occurs in abundance. More
