  • Stygobitic Fauna of the San Anatonio Pool of the Edwards Aquifer
    1707 W. FM 1626 Manchaca, Texas 78652 www.zaraenvironmental.com FAUNA OF WELLS NEAR THE SALINE WATER LINE OF THE EDWARDS AQUIFER, TEXAS In line barrel sampler on an irrigation well in Bexar County, Texas. Prepared for: Edwards Aquifer Authority 1615 N. St. Mary's Street San Antonio, Texas 78215 Revised 5 February 2020 Abstract Zara Environmental LLC, funded by the Edwards Aquifer Authority, sampled over 21,000 ac-ft of water from 41 wells within 8 km of the saline water line between 2008 and 2014 in an attempt to gain insight to the current status and distribution of organisms in the deep portions of the Edwards Aquifer. This is the second major sampling effort in the deep portions of the Edwards Aquifer, the first one having been completed more than thirty years ago. We attempted to re- locate wells known to have historically produced stygobitic fauna; however, most could not be definitively located. Twelve sites ranging from 111 to 652 m deep yielded invertebrate fauna, including 22 unique taxa in eight orders. Nearly every taxonomic record represents a new site locality for a rare species, and the collection efforts yielded a new species of copepod (Diacyclops sp.); an order of fauna (Bathynellacea) previously unknown from the Edwards Aquifer; and three new localities for the toothless blindcat, Trogloglanis pattersoni, one of which represents a 6 km range extension to the southwest. We collected representative material from 14 specimens of toothless blindcat from three wells, including entire intact specimens at one site and bones at the other two. Although collecting efforts for this study far exceeded historical collecting efforts, neither live blindcats nor material representing the widemouth blindcat, Satan eurystomus, was collected.
