Saffron shiner (Notropis rubricroceus) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Notropis. It is found in cold, clear, and rocky streams and creeks surrounding the Tennessee River drainage.Characteristics are a relatively deep body, dorsal fin origin above back half of pelvic fin base,medium-sized eye, narrow rounded snout, sub-terminal mouth, elongate spot at base of tail fin, dark side stripe on back half of body, olive back, silver sides, white belly, fins pale except for black mark on tail fin, and breeding males will be bright red with blue stripe on the side. The adults grow to between 40-60mm in length and mature to reproductive status in 1–2 years. When spawning the females release 445-1,174 eggs and they either spawn over a chub nest or in gravel runs without a nest. Food sources for saffron shiners consist of insects, worms, spiders, plants and algae. A direct way to monitor populations is through electroshocking streams; this however puts the fish under much stress and may cause harm to the fish. Another way could be creel surveys but saffron shiners are not normally caught on hook and line so it would be a very unreliable source of data. Larval fish drift nets could be placed in the streams to see the numbers of offspring for each year. Tagging is an option to study movement as well as population due to catch recapture data, as well as giving a count of individuals captured both adult and juvenile.
