  • 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.

  • Relation of Desert Pupfish Abundance to Selected Environmental Variables
    Environmental Biology of Fishes (2005) 73: 97–107 Ó Springer 2005 Relation of desert pupfish abundance to selected environmental variables in natural and manmade habitats in the Salton Sea basin Barbara A. Martin & Michael K. Saiki U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Western Fisheries Research Center-Dixon Duty Station, 6924 Tremont Road, Dixon, CA 95620, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 6 April 2004 Accepted 12 October 2004 Key words: species assemblages, predation, water quality, habitat requirements, ecological interactions, endangered species Synopsis We assessed the relation between abundance of desert pupfish, Cyprinodon macularius, and selected biological and physicochemical variables in natural and manmade habitats within the Salton Sea Basin. Field sampling in a natural tributary, Salt Creek, and three agricultural drains captured eight species including pupfish (1.1% of the total catch), the only native species encountered. According to Bray– Curtis resemblance functions, fish species assemblages differed mostly between Salt Creek and the drains (i.e., the three drains had relatively similar species assemblages). Pupfish numbers and environmental variables varied among sites and sample periods. Canonical correlation showed that pupfish abundance was positively correlated with abundance of western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, and negatively correlated with abundance of porthole livebearers, Poeciliopsis gracilis, tilapias (Sarotherodon mossambica and Tilapia zillii), longjaw mudsuckers, Gillichthys mirabilis, and mollies (Poecilia latipinna and Poecilia mexicana). In addition, pupfish abundance was positively correlated with cover, pH, and salinity, and negatively correlated with sediment factor (a measure of sediment grain size) and dissolved oxygen. Pupfish abundance was generally highest in habitats where water quality extremes (especially high pH and salinity, and low dissolved oxygen) seemingly limited the occurrence of nonnative fishes.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The phylogenetic or evolutionary relationships of species of Cypriniformes, as well as their classification, is in a era of flux. For the first time ever, the Order, and constituent Families are being examined for relationships within a phylogenetic context. Relevant findings as to sister-group relationships are largely being inferred from analyses of both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences. Like the vast majority of Cypriniformes, due to an overall lack of any phylogenetic investigation of these fishes since Hennig’s transformation of the discipline, changes in hypotheses of relationships and a natural classification of the species should not be of surprise to anyone. Basically, for most taxa no properly supported phylogenetic hypothesis has ever been done; and this includes relationships with reasonable taxon and character sampling of even families and subfamilies.

MARSH* Native Fish Lab at Marsh & Associates, LLC, 5016 South Ash Avenue, Suite 108, Tempe, AZ 85282, USA (KGH, JBL, WJG, BRK, PCM). *correspondent: [email protected] Key words: Amargosa River pupfish, Death Valley National Park, distribution, endangered species, monitoring, intermittent streams, range ________________________________________________________________________ Amargosa River pupfish (Cyprinodon nevadensis amargosae), is one of six rec- ognized subspecies of Amargosa pupfish (Miller 1948) and survives in waters embedded in a uniquely harsh environment, the arid and hot Mojave Desert (Jaeger 1957). All are endemic to the Amargosa River basin of southern California and Nevada (Moyle 2002). Differing from other spring-dwelling subspecies of Amargosa pupfish (Cyprinodon ne- vadensis), Amargosa River pupfish is riverine and the most widely distributed, the extent of which has been underrepresented prior to this study (Moyle et al. 2015). Originating on Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada, the Amargosa River flows intermittently, often under- ground, south past the towns of Beatty, Shoshone, and Tecopa and through the Amargosa River Canyon before turning north into Death Valley National Park and terminating at Badwater Basin (Figure 1). Amargosa River pupfish is data deficient with a distribution range that is largely unknown. The species has been documented in Tecopa Bore near Tecopa, Inyo County, CA (Naiman 1976) and in the Amargosa River Canyon, Inyo and San Bernardino Counties, CA (Williams-Deacon et al.

Articles Extinction Rates in North American Freshwater Fishes, 1900–2010 NOEL M. BURKHEAD Widespread evidence shows that the modern rates of extinction in many plants and animals exceed background rates in the fossil record. In the present article, I investigate this issue with regard to North American freshwater fishes. From 1898 to 2006, 57 taxa became extinct, and three distinct populations were extirpated from the continent. Since 1989, the numbers of extinct North American fishes have increased by 25%. From the end of the nineteenth century to the present, modern extinctions varied by decade but significantly increased after 1950 (post-1950s mean = 7.5 extinct taxa per decade).

  • Compare and Contrast the Water Environment Between Death Valley Pupfish Specie and Devil’S Hole Pupfish Specie
    Compare and Contrast the Water environment between Death Valley Pupfish Specie and Devil’s Hole Pupfish Specie By Roy Tianran Gao 1 Table of Contents Title page 1 Abstract 3 Introduction and Background 3 Water Temperature 4 Salinity 6 Water Level 7 Conservation 10 Conclusion 11 References 12 2 ABSTRACT The two types of pupfish (Cyprinodon) in Death Valley National Park are Death Valley pupfish and Devil’s Hole pupfish. Death Valley pupfish has been existed over 10,000 years and Devil’s Hole pupfish has been existed for over 20,000 years. Both of the pupfishes are endangered species. The average number of Death Valley pupfish has decreased by about 100 since 1990s, and the number of Devil’s Hole pupfish has decreased by 400 since 1995. Comparing the water level, water temperature and the water salinity between the two species of pupfish would help to define the living requirements and reason of decreasing population. The research toward the result is based on 7 journal articles, 4 websites, and 1 book. As the result shows, Death Valley Pupfish and Devil’s Hole Pupfish live in different water environments and functioned differently. Understanding the water environment of the two types of pupfishes will help people building new habitats for pupfishes and increase their population so that would be possible to avoid the extinction of pupfishes from the earth. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Pupfish is a small killifish in the Southwest of America. There are five pupfish species in Death Valley which are Armargosa pupfish, Saratoga Pupfish, Devil’s Hole pupfish, Death Valley pupfish, and Cotton ball Marsh pupfish (National Park Service, 2008).

EXIMIUS COMPLEX ROBERT RUSH MILLER' ABSTRACT: The pupfishes (genus Cyprinodon) referable to the C. eximius complex comprise seven species that are restricted to, or had their origin in, the Chihuahuan Desert region of Mexico and adjacent parts of Texas and New Mexico. Four are described as new; the remainder are C. eximius, C. atrorus, and C. latifasciatus. Most are of restricted distribution; one is extinct and another may be. Keys, diagnoses, and ranges are given for each species and all are illustrated. The distinctive morphometric characters of the new species are given. Life colors and color patterns are important in distinguishing species.
