This SSP project resulted in a final report and two publications. The effective conservation and management of at risk mussels in the lower Flint River Basin requires a credible assessment of the suitability of specific areas (habitats) to support each species and means to assess the potential risks, such as extinction due to fragmentation and isolation of populations. Such an approach should also allow for the integration of monitoring data so that reliable information on the status and distribution of at risk taxa can be updated as data are collected. The timely integration of monitoring data also is crucial for evaluating the success or failures of management actions to recover existing populations. The ultimate...

This SSP project resulted in a final report that addressed two objectives: (1) to develop nonbiased methods for estimating stream-fish distribution and abundance and (2) to develop a prioritized GIS inventory of manmade culverts, dams, and other structures impeding fish passage in priority sub-watersheds of the Upper Coosa Basin. These data were collected to assist the Service and Partners in better protecting and recovering the six listed fish, 6 listed mussels, and other rare species in the Upper Coosa Basin. The report included a publication: Price, A.L. and J.T. Peterson. 2010. Estimation and Modeling of Electrofishing Capture Efficiency for Fishes in Wadeable Warmwater Streams. NOrth American Journal of...

This report presents findings of research accomplished with funding through the USGS “Species at Risk” and 'FWS Critical Needs' programs, to address the status and distribution of 'at-risk' aquatic species in the upper Tallapoosa River system in Georgia and Alabama. The upper Tallapoosa river system contains at least five endemic fishes ( Cyprinella gibbsi, Etheostoma chuckwachatte, E. tallapoosae, Percina sp. and Cottus sp.), two endemic crayfishes ( Cambarus englishi, C. halli), an endemic mussel, Quadrula archeri and an endemic freshwater snail ( Elimia flava). A sixth fish species, Fundulus bifax, is nearly restricted to the Tallapoosa River system, having a single known locale outside of the Tallapoosa. In...
