White Sucker (Catostomus commersoni)
This fish, the only member of the sucker family found in Nova Scotia, is also called the common sucker, common white sucker, eastern sucker, sucker, black sucker, mud sucker, mookie, and muckie.
Distribution ...
White suckers spawn in shallow water or streams over a gravel bed in April and May. Usually two males gather with a single female. The female may release up to 100,000 eggs during the spawning process.
Food ...
Pumpkinseeds and white suckers appear to compete for the same prey resources as yellow perch (Craig 1987; Heath and Roff 1996). Stomach contents of small walleye often contain young yellow perch.
