Genus of fishes
Moxostoma , the redhorses or jumprocks , is a genus of North American
ray-finned fish in the family
Catostomidae . Redhorses are variable in size, geographic location, and other ecological traits such as spawning substrate.
[1]
[2]
[3] Several redhorses are long-lived (lifespans greater than 20 years), much like many other
catostomid species. The
silver redhorse is the longest-lived redhorse known by nearly a decade, with ages exceeding 40 years.
[1] Redhorses are broadly of conservation concern, as these long-lived species are highly intolerant to environmental pollution,
[4]
habitat fragmentation ,
[4] and are currently subject to unregulated 21st century sport
bowfishing which is removing and wantonly wasting several of these species by the ton.
