Non-native: the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database lists the species as introduced to the Upper Oconee watershed.

Data: GBIF.org occurrence records, CC0 and CC BY only (Multistate Aquatic Resources Information System - MARIS - Fish, GBIF dataset). Common names: USGS NAS; GBIF.org (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species). Non-native flags: USGS NAS. These are sightings and specimens people reported, not a survey: a fish missing from the list may still live here.
