Description
Shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum) is an economically important North American fresh water fish. This species is valued because it is food for large, popular gamefish like the northern pike, which draw in recreational tourism. Among some anglers, the shorthead redhorse can also be a popular gamefish on its own. However, its small size and bony body make it most useful as bait for other gamefish.
