<br />ABSTRACT
<br />The Fish and Wildlife Service Region One Ecological Services Field and State offices have conducted a
<br />variety of listing, recovery, status review, and consultation activities related to desert fishes and other aquatic
<br />species this year. These offices include the Oregon State Office (OSO), the Klamath Basin Ecosystem Restoration
<br />Office (ERO), the Nevada State Office (NSO), the Sacramento Field Office (SFO), the Carlsbad Field Office
<br />(CFO), and the Idaho State Office (ISO). The Oregon State Office developed draft recovery plans for the Warner
<br />sucker, Catostomus warnerensis, and Foskett Spring speckled dace, Rhinichthys osculus ssp.; proposed critical
<br />habitat for the Lost River sucker, Deltistes luxatus, and the shortnose sucker, Chasmistes brevirostris of the upper
<br />Klamath basin; assisted in the development of a"warranted but precluded" finding on the Bull trout, Salvelinus
<br />confluentus; listed the Oregon chub, Oregonichthys crameri as endangered; and conducted consultations on Federal
<br />projects impacting Lahontan cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi, Warner sucker, and the shortnose
<br />sucker. The ERO provided interagency coordination to arrange Klamath River Basin ecosystem restoration
<br />activities at a funding level averaging $1.67 million per year over the next three years. The NSO produced or will
<br />produce in the next year draft or final recovery plans for: White River spinedace, Lepidomeda albivallis, Big Spring
<br />spinedace, Lepidomeda mollispinis pratensis, Moapa dace Moapa coriacea, Lahontan cutthroat, Railroad Valley
<br />springfishes, desert dace, Eremichthys acros, Pahranagat roundtail chub, Gila robusta jordani, White River
<br />springfish, Crenichthys baileyi baileyi, and Hiko White River springfish, Crenichthys baileyi grandis. The NSO
<br />also reports on a fire impacting Moapa dace; recovery activities at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge; the
<br />contracting of a habitat management plan for Ash Meadows naucorid, Ambrysus amargosus; an Environmental
<br />Impact Statement to assess the potental impacts of the Truckee River Operating Agreement, with benefits to cui-ui,
<br />Chasmistes cujus, is under development; and the development of conservation agreements for the two candidate
<br />Amargosa toad, Bufo nelsoni and Oasis Valley speckled dace, Rhinichthys osculus ssp.. The SFO reports
<br />involvement in pre-listing recovery efforts for Cowhead Lake tui chub, Gila bicolor vaccaceps, the Goose Lake
<br />fishes, McCloud River redband trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp., Eagle Lake rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
<br />aquilarum, Volcano Creek golden trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita, and Kern River rainbow trout,
<br />Oncorhynchus mykiss gilberti. The SFO also received a petition to list the Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout, assisted with
<br />the Bull trout finding, reclassified the McCloud River redband trout as a Category 1 candidate, conducted
<br />consultations on Lahontan cutthroat trout, Paiute cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki selenirus, Little Kern golden
<br />trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp, Owens tui chub, Gila bicolor snyderi, Lost River sucker, shortnose sucker, and
<br />Modoc sucker, Catostomus microps. The CFO pursued recovery actions for several populations of the unarmored
<br />threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus williamsoni, and initiated an extensive study on the impacts of
<br />contaminants on the Salton Sea populations of the desert pupfrsh, Cyprinodon macularius. The ISO suffered a
<br />setback when the listing of the Bruneau Hot Springsnail, Pyrgulopsis bruneauensis, was reversed by court order.
<br />The ISO also received a petition to list the interior redband trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri, in the Kootenai
<br />drainage, and has initiated a status survey of all redband forms in southwest Idaho. The ISO has additionally been
<br />involved in recovery and conservation planning activities for the Bonneville cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki
<br />utah, the Bull trout, and assisted with the Bull trout finding.
