The golden redhorse was abundant at the upper Neosho station, rare at
the middle Neosho station, and did not occur in collections at other
stations. This species was taken most frequently over gravel- or
rubble-bottoms in small pools below riffles, and was especially
susceptible to collection by means of the shocker.
Twenty-nine golden redhorse of the 1957 year-class, taken at the upper
Neosho station on 9 September 1958, were 6.2 to 8.6 inches in total
length (average 7.4 inches); 26 individuals of the same year-class
caught on 21 August 1959 were 9.3 to 13.5 inches in total length
(average 10.9 inches).
