Biologia     Glossário (p.ex. epibenthic)

Attains its greatest abundance in small (1-2 m wide) to medium (3-5 m wide) upland gravel and cobble streams where it is found mainly in moderately-flowing to swift shallow riffles and runs (Ref. 47261). Adults and juveniles are encountered in pools over gravel and bedrock but not as common there unless the pool is in or near a spring (Ref. 47261).
