Figure 34. — Longnose sucker, Catostomus catostomus. 



43. Catostomus catostomus (Forster), longnose sucker (fig. 34) 



Large numbers of adult longnose suckers ascend the streams of Lake Superior each spring 

 to spawn. The barrier traps cannot accommodate the numbers moving during the peak of the run. 

 Brule River, Douglas County, Wis., was the only stream in which large numbers of small long- 

 nose suckers (under 10 inches) were captured.
