The bluefin stoneroller (Campostoma pauciradii) is a fish in the family Cyprinidae endemic to the southeastern United States .
Distribution
It is found primarily in the Altamaha and Apalachicola river watersheds in Georgia and Alabama.[1] There are also records from the Alabama and Tennessee river watersheds in Georgia.[2]
Ecology
The bluefin stoneroller lives in rocky riffles, runs, and sometimes pools in streams.[3]
Life history
It can be distinguished from other members of the genus Campostoma by its number of gill rakers, which usually number 12-16, as well as the blue-green fin coloration in breeding males and meristic trait variation.[2][4]
