Least chub are small bodied fish that occupy still or slow-moving water bodies that have few predators. [5] They are endemic to the Bonneville Basin of Utah. [6] Historically, their range included Utah Lake, Provo River, Sevier River, streams, freshwater ponds, springs, and swamps near the Great Salt Lake. [7]
A maximum total length of 56 cm (22 in) and weight of 1,360 g (48 oz) was reported from Bear Lake, but sizes of 15–20 cm (5.9–7.9 in) are more typical in many locations. [3] Age estimates on pectoral rays and otoliths suggest that Utah chub can live over 10 years. [3] [4] In most populations, a majority of Utah chub are under seven years ...
