Abstract:
The range of the Modoc sucker (Catostomus microps) a rare California catostomid, was found to include four streams from which it previously had not been recorded in Modoc County. The total number of Modoc suckers is probably less than 5,000. It is recommended that the Hiqqins Flat area of Johnson Creek be managed for Modoc suckers.
