Notes | The Tyee sucker is a small bony fish native to coastal rivers underlain by the Tyee Formation – an area from the Siuslaw to the Sixes River. The authors examine its morphology and genetics and speculate about events in the geologic past that may have led to its present attributes and distribution. |
