🐟Proposed Endangered Status for Fish Lake Valley Tui Chub
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Fish Lake Valley Tui Chub
Summary
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub (Siphateles obesus ssp.), a fish found in Esmeralda County in southwestern Nevada, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub. After a review of the best scientific and commercial data available, we find that listing the Fish Lake Valley tui chub is warranted. If adopted as proposed, this rule would extend the Act's protections to the Fish Lake Valley tui chub.
