Abstract:

In this continuing series of lesser known fishes of North Carolina, Lee describes the sculpin. Since this fish requires cool, swift moving creeks and streams, its range is limited to the state's mountain counties. Only two freshwater species live in the state--the mottled sculpin and the banded sculpin. These fish average only two inches in length and have no scales.
