Potential distrbution of the Lithophilic Fish Guild in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.  NHDplus segments are coded for the likelihood of fish species dependent on clean sand, gravel, cobble, or other coarse mineral substrate for habitat being present. The likelihood is based on the SARP river size class and Omernik Ecoregion Level III where fish species in this guild were found by state fish community sampling efforts. The fish sampling data can be downloaded from the Multistate Aquatic Resources Information System (www.marisdata.org). Guilds were assigned using FishTraits (www.fishtraits.info).
The fish species in this guild are thought to be sensitive to alterations in the flow regime. Flow-ecology hypotheses have been developed for these fish species by members of the GCP LCC Flow-Ecology Hypothesis Committee. For more information, go to www.southeastaquatics.net/programs/sifn/instream flow resources/.
