GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION RECORDS FOR FISHES OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS

摘要

New geographic distribution records are documented for 17 taxa of Arkansas fishes within seven families (Atherinopsidae, Catostomidae, Cyprinidae, Fundulidae, Lepisosteidae, Percidae, Petromyzontidae) from 15 counties of the central and northern portions of the state. Several species are reported from the Eleven Point (Notropis sabinae, Percina evides, Percina sciera and Percina vigil), Saline (Opsopoeodus emiliae and Fundulus chrysotus), Spring (Moxostoma carinatum), Strawberry (Ichthyomyzon castaneus) and Petit Jean (Ichthyomyzon gagei) river watersheds for the first time. In addition, a new locality in Stone County is added for the endemic and federal candidate species yellowcheek darter (Etheostoma moorei).
