Abstract:

"One of our state's most common fishes has a rare talent. In the fresh, clear waterways of the mountains and Piedmont, bluehead chubs build nests for their young, stone by tiny stone." Bluehead chubs pile up gravel to create nesting grounds. They are typically found in freshwater streams in the mountains and Piedmont.
