The burrhead shiner (Alburnops asperifrons) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows.[3] It is endemic to the United States and occurs in the Alabama and Black Warrior River systems in southeastern Tennessee, northwestern Georgia, and Alabama, mostly above the Fall Line.[1][4] It grows to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) total length.[4] It can be locally common and occurs in rocky and sandy pools and runs of clear creeks and small rivers, usually on or near bottom.[1] It is state threatened in Georgia, however.[5]
