Abstract
This research represents an effort to understand the life history, strategy, and ecological relationships of Noturus leptacanthus. In particular I have tried to compare the combination of low fecundity, large egg size, parental car , and marked sexual dimorphism in leptacanthus with the patterns of these parameters in other ictalurid species.
