Yellow bullhead were taken only at the middle station on the Marais des
Cygnes and upper station on the Neosho. The yellow bullhead is more
restricted to streams than is the black bullhead. Both species decreased
in abundance during a period of continuous flow (1957 to 1959) following
drought at the upper Neosho station. Collections in 1958-'59 indicated
an increase in average size. Of four individuals marked and released at
the upper Neosho station in 1959, one was recaptured about three hours
after being released. It had not moved from the area of release.
