The Bigmouth buffalo (Ictiobus cyprinellus) is a fish native to North America. It is the largest North American species in the Catostomidae or "sucker" family, and is one of the longest-lived freshwater fishes, capable of living beyond 110 years. It is commonly called the gourd head, redmouth buffalo, buffalofish, bernard buffalo, roundhead, or brown buffalo,. Despite the superficial similarity, the bigmouth buffalo is not a carp, nor is any other catostomid. * The bigmouth buffalo is typically a dull brownish olive color with dusky fins. Like other catostomids it has a long dorsal fin, but unlike others it has a terminal (forward-facing) mouth. It is the largest of the buffalo fish and reaches a length of more than 4 ft (1.2 m) and 65 lb (29 kg) in weight. Bigmouth buffalo are an ecological asset to North American fresh waters. They form the native counterpart to the bighead and silver carp, and they compete with the common carp. These invasive species are outcompeting the native bigmouth buffalo.It is native to the Red River of the North, Manitoba, Canada, and North Dakota, United States, to the Ohio River and south in the Mississippi River system to Texas and Alabama in the United States. It lives in sluggish areas of large rivers and shallow lakes and streams. Bigmouth buffalo populations are known as declining in the northern extent of their range, including parts of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Canada. A recent study documented that several populations in Northwestern Minnesota are comprised mainly (85-90%) of individuals more than 80 years old, suggesting recruitment failure since the 1930s. The long lifespan of Bigmouth Buffalo, and evidence indicating recruitment failure spanning decades with only brief periods of recruitment success, suggests this species goes through "boom" and "bust" periods of recruitment in certain areas of their range. In order for this life history strategy to be successful, bigmouth buffalo likely would require time (e.g. decades) to reach those successful "boom" periods of reproduction. Thus current management of this species is in urgent need of reevaluation, at least in the northern extent of their range. * The bigmouth buffalo migrates upstream to spawn in the spring, usually April to June, where it lays its eggs on plants to which they adhere. Bigmouth buffalo, unlike its close relatives the black and smallmouth buffalos, is a filter-feeder, using its very fine gill rakers to strain crustacean zooplankton from the water. It sometimes feeds near the bottom, using short up-and down movements to swirl the water and thus be able to filter from the water the plants and animals that hover near the bottom or rest lightly on it. More than one male will assist in spawning by moving the female to the top of the water to help mix eggs and milt. * The fish is vulnerable in shallow water and is often captured by spearing and bow and arrow. It is commercially caught on trotlines, setlines, hoop and trammel nets, an... |
