Ecology
Habitat
Habitat Type: Freshwater
Comments: Sand-, silt-, and sometimes gravel-bottomed pools and backwaters of small to large rivers, lakes (Page and Burr 1991). Mostly in large, often silty rivers. May move into gravelly streams with clearer water if river becomes excessively silted. May move into shallows during day. Winters in deep holes in Mississippi River. In some lakes, usually in water less than 10 m deep. In lakes, probably spawns in open waters.

Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
