ABSTRACT

The Shoshone sculpin is found primarily in the spring systems of the Thousand Springs Formation that enter at the north bank of the Middle Snake River. Cottus greenei are sympatric with mottled sculpin Cottus bairdi in several of the springs entering along a 55 km section of the Snake River. Shoshone sculpin have been found to be capable of spawning more than once each year through direct observation.
