Project Description

Evaluate environmental gradients that regulate the presence and abundance of imperiled shiner species (Notropis atrocaudalis and N. sabinae) in East Texas streams using a multiscale hierarchical approach (e.g., reach, segment and basin) for assessing and managing populations.

Conservation Area

Southeast Texas Rivers Native Fish Conservation Area

NFCA Objectives

Project Hierarchy: High (i.e., timely and urgent, needs to occur within the next 1-3 years)
Estimated Cost Range: $50,000-$100,000
Project Submitted By: Carmen G. Montana, Stephen F. Austin State University
Suggested Contact: Kevin Mayes

Understanding the scale-specific relationships between selected fish abundance and local habitats variables across multiple spatial scale extends will be important for identifying the primary habitat variables influencing the local abundance. Likewise, this study will provide a baseline assessment for the accuracy of species distribution and future monitoring of populations of SGCN in East Texas rivers.
