North America: lower Cumberland and lower Tennessee River drainages in Kentucky and Tennessee, USA. Upstream in Cumberland River drainage to Harpeth River; upstream in Tennessee River drainage (on east side of Tennessee River only) to upper Duck River, upper Buffalo River and Indian Creek (Tennessee).

Inhabits rocky pools and adjacent riffles of headwaters, creeks and small rivers (Ref. 5723); also found in streams (Ref. 10294).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (-0.30300 - 0.32300), b=3.04000 (2.92100 - 3.15900), based on all LWR estimates for this BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
