  • A Checklist of Texas Fresh-Water Fishes By
    A Checklist of I Texas Fresh-Water Fishes By CLARK HUBBS Department of Zoology The University of Texas DIVISION OF INLAND FISHERIES TEXAS GAME AND FISH COMMISSION Austin, Texas Marion Toole, Director IF Series - No. 3 Revised Dec. 1958 FOREWORD A checklist of Texas fresh-water fishes by CLARK HUBBS This checklist is modified from that of Hubbs (1957a). A number of changes have been made in nomenclature. Notropis roseus and N. deliciosus have been changed to N. texanus and N. strarnineus, re­ spectively, following Suttkus (1958). Etheostorna whipplei and E. m·tesiae have been changed to E. radiosum following a re-examina­ tion of available material. Two species have been added, Garnbusia senilis, following Hubbs (1958), and Eucinoslornus argenteus, a marine species collected in a .coastal stream near Brownsville. Two species which had not been described in the previous checklist are given their names, Gambusia geiseri, following Hubbs and Springer (1957), and G. helerochir, following Hubbs (1957b). The primary difference between the checklists is the addition of information on the distribution of fishes within the state to this list. The general concepts follow those given in a previous report (Hubbs, 1957c), but emphasize the ranges of the individual species rather than the distributional patterns. The range designations follow the common names of all species. The numbers refer to the modified game areas shovvn on the map. If the fish inhabits only a part of the area, it is so designated by preceding the number with letters (N. for north, etc.) indicating· the pai·t of the area inhabited by the species.

  • Species Status Assessment Report for the Sharpnose Shiner (Notropis Oxyrhynchus) and Smalleye Shiner (N
    Species Status Assessment Report For the Sharpnose Shiner (Notropis oxyrhynchus) And Smalleye Shiner (N. buccula) Prepared by the Arlington, Texas Ecological Services Field Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date of last revision: June 10, 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This species status assessment reports the results of the comprehensive status review for the sharpnose shiner (Notropis oxyrhynchus) and smalleye shiner (N. buccula) and provides a thorough account of the species’ overall viability and, conversely, extinction risk. Sharpnose and smalleye shiners are small minnows currently restricted to the contiguous river segments of the upper Brazos River basin in north-central Texas. In conducting our status assessment we first considered what the two shiners need to ensure viability. We generally define viability as the ability of the species to persist over the long term and, conversely, to avoid extinction. We then evaluated whether those needs currently exist and the repercussions to the species when those needs are missing, diminished, or inaccessible. We next consider the factors that are causing the species to lack what it needs, included historical, current, and future factors. Finally, considering the information reviewed, we evaluated the current status and future viability of the species in terms of resiliency, redundancy, and representation. Resiliency is the ability of the species to withstand stochastic events and, in the case of the shiners, is best measured by the extent of suitable habitat in terms of stream length. Redundancy is the ability of a species to withstand catastrophic events by spreading the risk and can be measured through the duplication and distribution of resilient populations across its range.

Checklist of the Inland Fishes of Louisiana Abstract Since the publication of Freshwater Fishes of Louisiana (Douglas, 1974) and a revised checklist (Douglas and Jordan, 2002), much has changed regarding knowledge of inland fishes in the state. An updated reference on Louisiana’s inland and coastal fishes is long overdue. Inland waters of Louisiana are home to at least 224 species (165 primarily freshwater, 28 primarily marine, and 31 euryhaline or diadromous) in 45 families. This checklist is based on a compilation of fish collections records in Louisiana from 19 data providers in the Fishnet2 network (www.fishnet2.net).

ZooKeys 874: 31–45. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.874.35618 Abstract Species checklists and dichotomous keys are valuable tools that provide many services for ecological stud- ies and management through tracking native and non-native species through time. We developed nine drainage basin checklists and dichotomous keys for 196 inland fishes of Texas, consisting of 171 native fishes and 25 non-native fishes. Our checklists were updated from previous checklists and revised using reports of new established native and non-native fishes in Texas, reports of new fish occurrences among drainages, and changes in species taxonomic nomenclature. We provided the first dichotomous keys for major drainage basins in Texas. Among the 171 native inland fishes, 6 species are considered extinct or extirpated, 13 species are listed as threatened or endangered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 59 spe- cies are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) by the state of Texas.
