Wanna Kiss 💋 White Sucker Fish while Diving in Maine

This video was taken over a number of days and at a number of different locations in Maine while Diving & Underwater Metal Detecting. These are White Sucker Fish or Catostomus Commersoni these fish are commonly known as a "Sucker" due to their fleshy, papillose lips that suck up organic matter and aufwuchs from the bottom of rivers and streams.

Other common names for the White Sucker Fish include Bay Fish, Brook Sucker, Common Sucker, and Mullet.

When fully grown, it can reach lengths of 12–20 in (30–51 cm) and weigh 2–6 lb (0.91–2.72 kg).

The white sucker is able to use chemosensory to sense and avoid predators and other conspecific species during day and night.

The white sucker is a bottom feeder, meaning that it uses its fleshy lips to suck up bottom sediments and other organisms that may be located there. It will eat almost anything it can, but most commonly small invertebrates, algae, and plant matter.

A very common fish, the white sucker is usually not fished for food, though some consider it good to eat. It is most often used as bait, the young are sold as sucker minnows. When it is eaten by humans, it is usually processed and sold under the name of mullet.
