Kuehne RA. 1966. Depauperate Fish Faunas of Sinking Creeks near Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. Copeia. 1966(2):306-311
Fish were surveyed in sinking creeks south of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky to ascertain faunal diversity, to make comparisons with adjacent normal drainages, and to help determine the source of epigean fishes occasionally found in Echo and Styx rivers in Mammoth Cave. Methodology and results are presented and discussed. A figure shows the survey sites. A table presents a checklist of species arranged by collecting stations and by stream orders.
