N2 - The stippled darter, Etheostoma punctulatum, was studied from February 1981 to May 1982 in Flint Creek, Delaware Co., Oklahoma. Etheostoma punctulatum was captured in riffles and pools, and 68% were caught in or near vegetation or detritus. Etheostoma punctulatum was captured in slower water more often than predicted from the habitat available, but depths and substrates were used in proportion to availability. The stippled darter lives to a maximum of 3 years in Flint Creek, and females are larger than males. Ephemeropteran naiads and chironomid larvae are eaten most frequently and found in proportionally more stomachs. Etheostoma punctulatum spawns from late winter to early spring, and females had an average of 78.3 (SD = 21.75) mature oocytes per g total weight.
