Food of the Coarse-Scaled Sucker (Catostomus macrocheilus Girard)

Abstract: Examination of 167 specimens shows that immature fish feed upon planktonic forms while mature fish feed upon larger bottom organisms and bottom detritus. The diet varies with habitat and season, depending upon what is available. Since it eats the spawn of salmonids and takes much the same food organisms as they do, its presence in waters containing important salmonids is undesirable.
