Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.5 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 1998); common length : 6.8 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 12193)

Inhabits rubble and gravel riffles of rivers and rocky lake shores. Individuals up to 5 cm feed on planktonic crustaceans and aquatic insect larvae especially that of midges and mayflies (Ref. 1998). Larger sculpins feed on minnows and other fishes (Ref. 1998). Possibly spawns in June (Ref. 1998).
