Sucker fish tend to “sucker” within a specific range of water temperatures that trigger spawning migration.
Specifically, an augment in the number of days in which water levels reach 43.3 degrees is the best predictor of migration time, according to a recent study from Shedd Aquarium. In addition to the behavior of the “understudied but essential” suckers, Shedd’s research also reveals something about the residents of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan: They are reliable volunteers who “have enabled scientists to collect seven years of sucker spawning migration data.” – emphasized the Shedd research team.
