Comments: Found in lakes, pools and occasionally in runs of small to large rivers.  Large individuals occur in deep water (Ref. 5723, 86798).  Feeds on fishes, terrestrial insects, plankton, aquatic insect larvae, and crustaceans while inshore; feeds mostly on fishes while offshore (Ref. 1998).  Male squawfish, prickly sculpins, and newts prey on the eggs (Ref. 1998).  Edible but not well appreciated (1998).
