Etymology: Scaphirhynchus: Greek, skaphe, -eos = boat + Greek, rhyngchos = snout (Ref. 45335); albus: From the word albus, meaning white (Ref. 10294).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
البيئة
; المياه العذبة القاع; سمكة نهرية (Ref. 51243). Subtropical; 44°N - 30°N
North America: nearly restricted to main channels of Missouri River and lower Mississippi River from Montana to Louisiana in USA.
Length at first maturity / الحجم / وزن / العمر
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 200 cm TL ذكر/ مختلط الجنس; (Ref. 58490); common length : 81.7 cm TL ذكر/ مختلط الجنس; (Ref. 12193); أعلا وزن تم نشرة: 130.0 kg (Ref. 52332); العمر: 41 سنين (Ref. 32514)
Absence of scalelike scutes on belly; bases of outer barbels usually behind bases of inner barbels (Ref. 86798).
Adults inhabit large, deep, turbid river channels, usually in strong current over firm sand or gravel (Ref. 10294, 58490). They feed on aquatic insect immatures, particularly caddisfly larvae, and small fish (Ref. 10294). Threatened due to over harvesting and habitat loss (Ref. 58490). No length type given but assumed to be in TL.
