invertivores. During the first year, they consume small crustaceans and midge larvae and pupae. The adults eat mayfly larvae, small mollusks, and crustaceans.

Habitat
Silver chubs are mainly restricted to large, often silty rivers; they are sometimes found near the mouths of small streams.

Reproduction and Life Cycle
The spawning season for silver chubs has been recorded to be in late spring or early summer in Iowa, and June and July in Wisconsin  In western Lake Erie, spawning began the second week of June in water temperature of 19 °C (66 °F), reached its peak during the last week of June and first week of July with water temperature at 23 °C (73 °F), and was completed by the middle of August. Kinney (1954) concluded that the species spawns at relatively high temperatures.
Silver chubs are rock and gravel spawners with pelagic free embryos.
Life longevity for male silver chubs is three years and for females is four years. Kinney (1954) found most 1-year old fish to be sexually mature. During development, the average silver chub is 124 mm (4.88 in)in standard length after the first year, 147 mm (5.88 in) in standard length after the second year, and 164 mm (6.46 in) in standard length after the third year.

Distribution
United States distribution: Widespread from southern New York to the Red River drainages.
Texas distribution: The silver chub is in the Red River  and the lower Brazos River; the Brazos River population is apparently disjunct from other populations of this species, which range through the Mississippi River basin to Mobil Bay.

Importance to Humans
The silver chub is regarded as excellent forage and bait fish for largemouth and smallmouth black bass.
