Greetings All,
I'm on the verge of starting an early summer research project on largescale
stonerollers, _Campostoma oligolepis_ looking at the onset of spawning and
juvenile growth patterns. This will all be done in a creek here at the Univ.
of Alabama in Huntsville campus about 200 meters from my office which is
loaded with stonerollers. My questions to the list are:
1) does anyone have any experience breeding stonerollers in captivity,
2) does anyone know of any published literature on larval/juvenile growth in
_Campostoma_ species?
I've done my own searching and found surprisingly little on a genus that is
very common in the South and Midwest. Literature may exist from pre-1980
that I haven't been able to tease out yet. I have found some interesting
literature on gene frequency changes in the central stoneroller in response
to pollution, but that's pretty much it.
Thanks!

P.S. With all the hoohah about the Confederate flag in Mississippi of late,
we all missed the observance of Alabama's Confederate Memorial Day on April
26. I leave any observances to your discretion.
