Brood care of longnose gar (
Lepisosteus osseus) by smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui).
Functions of fish skin: flexural stiffness and steady swimming of longnose gar,
Lepisosteus osseus. J.
grandis occupies a unique trophic niche in assemblages of high-salinity reaches of the Lower Pecos, where native piscivores such as Micropterus salmoides and
Lepisosteus osseus have not been observed in recent surveys (Cheek and Taylor, 2015; East, 2015).

Champlain described what is likely a Lake Champlain gar pike (
Lepisosteus osseus), as being five feet long, with a body as thick as his thigh, and a head the size of two fists.
For example, suppose the name Halecostomi had been defined as referring to the most inclusive clade comprising Amia calva Linnaeus 1766 and Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus 1758 but not
Lepisosteus osseus Linnaeus 1758.
A series of fortuitous events allowed us to serendipitously determine the exact growth in size of an individual longnose gar,
Lepisosteus osseus, from Lake Texoma, Oklahoma-Texas, from the day the egg was spawned and fertilized in the wild, until 166 days later when the juvenile, clearly of recruited size, was recovered from an outdoor ornamental pond where it had been housed throughout the summer-autumn growing season.
