  • 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.

It is drained by two major river basins, the Coosa and the Tennessee, in the northwestern corner of Georgia. The Ridge and Valley ecoregion covers nearly 3,000 square miles (United States Census Bureau 2000) and includes all or portions of 10 counties (Figure 1), bordering the Piedmont ecoregion to the south and the Blue Ridge ecoregion to the east. A small portion of the Southwestern Appalachians ecoregion is located in the upper northwestern corner of the Ridge and Valley ecoregion. The biotic index developed by the GAWRD is based on Level III ecoregion delineations (Griffith et al. 2001). The metrics and scoring criteria adapted to the Ridge and Valley ecoregion were developed from biomonitoring samples collected in the two major river basins that drain the Ridge and Valley ecoregion, the Coosa (ACT) and the Tennessee (TEN).

  • Four Streams in Southern West Virginia Were Sampled Over Ten Years to Assess the Effects of Mining and Anthropogenic Influences on Fisheries and Macroinvertebrates
    “A Comparison of the Effects of Mining Over a Ten Year Period on the Fisheries, Macroinvertebrates, and Water Chemistry Within the Tributaries of East Fork Twelvepole Creek” Paper Presented at the 2011 West Virginia Mine Drainage Task Force Symposium March 29-30, 2011 Morgantown, WV Jonny Hart1, Ed J. Kirk2, & Randall Maggard3 1 Fisheries Biologist, REI Consultants, Inc., 225 Industrial Park Rd., Beaver, WV 25813 ([email protected]). 2 Director – Biological Division, REI Consultants, Inc., 225 Industrial Park Rd., Beaver, WV 25813 ([email protected]). 3 Manager of Environmental Compliance, Argus Energy-WV, LLC, 9104 Twelvepole Creek Road, P.O. Box 200, Dunlow, WV 25511 ([email protected]). Abstract: Four streams in southern West Virginia were sampled over ten years to assess the effects of mining and anthropogenic influences on fisheries and macroinvertebrates. Fish communities were sampled in the Spring & Fall of 2000 and 2010. Water chemistry and macroinvertebrates were sampled biannually each year and used to evaluate stream condition and aquatic health. Fish index of biotic integrity values were used in conjunction with the West Virginia Stream Condition Index (WV-SCI) to evaluate any correlation with Specific Conductance measurements. Coefficient of community loss (I) was used to reference fish community assemblage shifts between 2000 and 2010. Fish communities and WV-SCI values were found to be fair and unimpaired respectively, despite elevated conductivity in the watershed from mining and anthropogenic influences. These findings suggest conductivity is a poor primary indicator of aquatic health in certain reaches of central Appalachian streams. Introduction Surface coal mining, like any large earthmoving project, has the potential to affect headwater streams.

  • The Salamanders of Tennessee
    Salamanders of Tennessee: modified from Lisa Powers tnwildlife.org Follow links to Nongame The Salamanders of Tennessee Photo by John White Salamanders are the group of tailed, vertebrate animals that along with frogs and caecilians make up the class Amphibia. Salamanders are ectothermic (cold-blooded), have smooth glandular skin, lack claws and must have a moist environment in which to live. 1 Amphibian Declines Worldwide, over 200 amphibian species have experienced recent population declines. Scientists have reports of 32 species First discovered in 1967, the golden extinctions, toad, Bufo periglenes, was last seen mainly species of in 1987. frogs. Much attention has been given to the Anurans (frogs) in recent years, however salamander populations have been poorly monitored. Photo by Henk Wallays Fire Salamander - Salamandra salamandra terrestris 2 Why The Concern For Salamanders in Tennessee? Their key role and high densities in many forests The stability in their counts and populations Their vulnerability to air and water pollution Their sensitivity as a measure of change The threatened and endangered status of several species Their inherent beauty and appeal as a creature to study and conserve. *Possible Factors Influencing Declines Around the World Climate Change Habitat Modification Habitat Fragmentation Introduced Species UV-B Radiation Chemical Contaminants Disease Trade in Amphibians as Pets *Often declines are caused by a combination of factors and do not have a single cause. Major Causes for Declines in Tennessee Habitat Modification -The destruction of natural habitats is undoubtedly the biggest threat facing amphibians in Tennessee. Housing, shopping center, industrial and highway construction are all increasing throughout the state and consequently decreasing the amount of available habitat for amphibians.

Thomas Fisheries Program Coordinator 2011 (Third edition, 2021) Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources Division of Fisheries Cover paintings by Rick Hill • Publication design by Adrienne Yancy Preface entucky is home to a total of 245 native fish species with an additional 24 that have been introduced either intentionally (i.e., for sport) or accidentally. Within Kthe United States, Kentucky’s native freshwater fish diversity is exceeded only by Alabama and Tennessee. This high diversity of native fishes corresponds to an abun- dance of water bodies and wide variety of aquatic habitats across the state – from swift upland streams to large sluggish rivers, oxbow lakes, and wetlands. Approximately 25 species are most frequently caught by anglers either for sport or food. Many of these species occur in streams and rivers statewide, while several are routinely stocked in public and private water bodies across the state, especially ponds and reservoirs. The largest proportion of Kentucky’s fish fauna (80%) includes darters, minnows, suckers, madtoms, smaller sunfishes, and other groups (e.g., lam- preys) that are rarely seen by most people.

  • Conservation Status of the Seepage Salamander (Desmognathus Aeneus)
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 7(3):339−348. Submitted: 2 August 2012; Accepted: 5 November 2012; Published: 31 December 2012. GOOD NEWS AT LAST: CONSERVATION STATUS OF THE SEEPAGE SALAMANDER (DESMOGNATHUS AENEUS) 1 2 3 SEAN P. GRAHAM , DAVID BEAMER , AND TRIP LAMB 1Department of Biology, 208 Mueller Laboratory, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA, e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Mathematics and Sciences, Nash Community College, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804, USA 3Department of Biology, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina 27834, USA Abstract.—The Seepage Salamander (Desmognathus aeneus) is a tiny, terrestrial plethodontid with a patchy distribution across the Blue Ridge, Coastal Plain, and Piedmont physiographic provinces of the Southeastern United States. The species is of conservation concern or protected in most states within its limited geographic range, and anecdotal reports of population declines or extirpation have prompted a recent petition for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. To assess the current status of the Seepage Salamander, we conducted 136 surveys at 101 sites, including 46 historical collection localities. Our survey results provide rare good news in this era of declining amphibian populations: we confirmed the presence of Seepage Salamanders at 78% of the historical locations surveyed and discovered new populations at 35 additional localities. Several of these new sites were within 5 km of historical collection sites where the species was not found. Encounter rates (salamanders/person hour searching) were comparable to encounter rates reported by a previous researcher in 1971. Although this species appears to be common and secure over the majority of its range (i.e., the Blue Ridge physiographic province of Georgia and North Carolina), encounter rates were lower and they occupied fewer sites across the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of Alabama and western Georgia, suggesting conservation may be warranted within these regions.
