Notropis Lutrensis

Notropis Lutrensis

The spawning season for red shiners is generally from mid-April through September.[1] As well as spawning in crevices like other members of the genusCyprinella, red shiners both broadcast their eggs and attach them to rocks and vegetation.[5] Females can release up to 16 batches per day with up to 71 eggs per batch. The average clutch size, however, is 585 eggs and they may have anywhere from 5 to 19 clutches in one reproductive season.[6] Red shiners are capable of generating viable hybrid offspring with closely related species such as the blue shiner and the blacktailed shiner.[5] As well as spawning in crevices like other members of the genusCyprinella, red shiners both broadcast their eggs and attach them to rocks and vegetation.
