Endangered Species
FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

BONNER Aquatic Station, Department of Biology, Texas State University 601 University Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666, USA Taxonomic Status Guadalupe Bass Micropterus treculii diverged from northeastern ancestral Micropterus (Conner and Suttkus1986) approximately 4.1–5.7 million years ago during the late Miocene or early Pliocene (Near et al. 2003, 2005). The species was originally described by Cope (1880) as the Texas (Johnson Fork of the Llano River) version of Florida Bass M. floridanus, differing slightly in some morphometric and meristic counts from its Florida counterpart. Since that time, Guadalupe Bass have undergone sev- eral redescriptions, including Dioplites treculii (Vaillant and Bocourt 1883), M. nuecensis var. treculii (Vaillant and Bocourt 1883), M. salmoides (Jordan and Gilbert 1886, Evermann and Kendall 1894), M. pseudaplites (Hubbs 1927), M. punctulatus punctulatus (Hubbs and Bailey 1940), M. p. treculii (Hubbs and Bailey 1942), M. treculi (Jurgens and Hubbs 1953; Hubbs 1954), and its current nomenclature M. treculii (Nelson et al. 2004). Johnson et al. (2001) determined that the sister taxa of Guadalupe Bass is Spotted Bass M. punctulatus based on mitochondrial DNA analyses.

Expanding the Toolbox: SNP Tools for Aquaculture and Conservation Management in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea Virginica) and the Black Basses (Micropterus Spp.)
Expanding the Toolbox: SNP Tools for Aquaculture and Conservation Management in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and the Black Basses (Micropterus spp.) by Wilawan Thongda A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 5, 2018 Key words: eastern oyster, black basses, SNP, GBS Copyright 2018 by Wilawan Thongda Approved by Eric Peatman, Chair, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences William H. Daniels, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences Charles Y. Chen, Professor of Crop Soil and Environmental Sciences Scott McElroy, Professor of Crop Soil and Environmental Sciences Abstract Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are considered as important molecular markers due to their several advantages, including their abundance, distribution in the genome, stability due to low mutation rates, ease of multiplexing, lower cost, amenability to high throughput assays, and low genotyping error rate. The rapid development of technology for SNPs has provided an efficient and cost-effective genetic marker tool for aquaculture and aquatic conservation in recent years for various purposes such as the determination of the population structure, population genomics, traceability, species identification, hybridization rates, and migratory dynamics. Here, relevant aspects of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and black basses (Micropterus spp.), key aquatic species in the southeastern United States, are examined. Culture of the Eastern oyster is rapidly expanding. Combined with their continuing role as an environmental sentinel species and ecological model, this trend necessitates improved molecular tools for breeding and selection, as well as population assessment and genetic conservation.

Final Business Plan NFWF Native Black Bass Keystone Initiative Feb
A Business Plan for the Conservation of Native Black Bass Species in the Southeastern US: A Ten Year Plan February 2010 Executive Summary Conservation need : The southeastern US harbors a diversity of aquatic species and habitats unparalleled in North America. More than 1,800 species of fishes, mussels, snails, turtles and crayfish can be found in the more than 70 major river basins of the region; more than 500 of these species are endemic. However, with declines in the quality and quantity of aquatic resources in the region has come an increase in the rate of extinctions; nearly 100 species have become extinct across the region in the last century. At present, 34 percent of the fish species and 90 percent of the mussels in peril nationwide are found in the southeast. In addition, the southeast contains more invasive, exotic aquatic species than any other area of the US, many of which threaten native species. The diversity of black bass species (genus Micropterus ) mirrors the freshwater fish patterns in North America with most occurring in the southeast. Of the nine described species of black bass, six are endemic to the southeast: Guadalupe bass, shoal bass, redeye bass, Florida bass, Alabama bass, and Suwannee bass. However, many undescribed forms also exist and most of these are in need of conservation measures to prevent them from becoming imperiled. Furthermore, of the black bass species with the greatest conservation needs, all are endemic to the southeast and found in relatively small ranges (Figure 1). In an effort to focus and coordinate actions to conserve these species, local, state and federal agencies, universities, NGOs and businesses from across the region have come together in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to develop the Southeast Native Black Bass Keystone Initiative.
