The shoal chub (Macrhybopsis hyostoma) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows.[2] It occurs in Mississippi River drainages from eastern Ohio to southern Minnesota and Nebraska south to Louisiana. Its preferred habitat is sand and gravel runs (shoals) of small to large rivers.[3]
In their breeding condition, males develop horny nuptial tubercles on the pectoral fins, and both sexes produce a sandpaper-like texture which is present across the surface of the head and much of the body.[4]
