Here are a few more:
Cahn, A.R. 1927. An ecological study of southern Wisconsin fishes - the
brook silverside (Labidesthes sicculus) and the cisco (Leucichthys artedi)
and their relations to the region. Illinois Biological Monographs
11(1):1-151.
Grier, H.J., D.P. Moody, and B.C. Cowell. 1990. Internal fertilization and
sperm morphology in the brook silverside, Labidesthes sicculus. Copeia
1990: 221-226.
Hubbs, C.L. 1921. An ecological study of the life history of the
freshwater atherine fish Labidesthes sicculus. Ecology 2(4): 262-276.
Nelson, J.S. 1968. Life history of the brook silverside, Labidesthes
sicculus, in Crooked Lake, Indiana. Trans Am Fish Soc 97: 293-296.
Zimmerman, C.J. 1970. Growth and food of the brook silverside, Labidesthes
sicculus, in Indiana. Trans Am Fish Soc 99: 435-438.
The Cahn paper is an impressive field study of reproductive behavior,
movements, response to light, etc. The Grier et al paper is a
ground-breaking demonstration that the brook silverside lays eggs with
embryos at varying stages of development.

Thanks, Chris!
See, that's why you're our hero! (-:
Seriously, this is more than I imagined I would get, which underscores your
earlier pitch for NANFA membership. I would never have had time to track
all of these down on my own.
