Fundulus catenatus (Storer), Northern Studfish. The Northern Studfish occurs in shallow margins of pools in clear, moderate to high gradient streams of all sizes with permanent flow and silt-free sand and gravel substrates (Pfleiger 1995).
Remarks: This specimen represents the first record of Northern Studfish from an interior Illinois stream.

9:00 INTRODUCTION AND SPREAD OF THE NON-INDIGENOUS NORTHERN
STUDFISH (Fundulus catenatus).
Largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie (Pomoxis annularis), green sunfish and northern
studfish (Fundulus catenatus) were collected by electrofishing lakes and streams containing few or no mussels to minimize current or prior glochidial infestations.
The three species of
studfish occur in both Appalachian and Ozark highland areas, as well as the Mobile Basin ([ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 3E OMITTED]; Thomerson 1969; Cashner et al.
In this study, a series of laboratory microcosm experiments were used to examine intra- and interspecific agonistic behavioral interactions (e.g., chases and nips) between+ topminnow and northern starhead topminnow (Fundulus dispar), northern
studfish (F catenatus), and banded killifish (F diaphanus) at three different fish density combinations and in the presence or absence of vegetation.
Although the northern
studfish Fundulus catenatus is listed as part of the state's ichthyofauna, Smith (1979) stated that there was no evidence of a population in Illinois and the species was a "straggler from a Missouri tributary." A single specimen was collected in July 2007 in the West Fork Richland Creek (Kaskaskia River Drainage), St.
For example, the northern
studfish, Fundulus catenatus, was found at 12 collection sites in the Little Miami River and its tributaries of Xenia Township.
