   Robust redhorse can spawn only in fast-flowing, clear water with deep gravel bottoms, said Jay Shelton, a University of Georgia fisheries biologist. Such habitat has declined with the damming of Southern rivers. "They're basically the salmon of the South."
   
   In an unusual mating ritual that requires two males for each female, the males use their bodies and tails to dig holes in the gravel, and the females lay eggs that are buried in the gravel to prevent them from washing downstream.
   
   The noisy movement of gravel is the sound scientists listen for while searching for the fish.
   
   The captured fish are drained of their round, lemon-yellow eggs and released.
