Element Global Ranking Form as of 04 JUN 1996 MACRHYBOPSIS MEEKI ;,.-. Q(p~ R~ ~ ~ ~~ "- ) , ... Identifiers: ELCODE: AFCJBS3030 GNAME: MACRHYBOPSIS MEEKI ELDESCRIP: A fish (minnow) up to 11 cm long. EO Soecifications: EOSPECS: An element occurrence is a local population that is separated from other such populations by an impassable barrier, a significant extent of incompatible habitat, or a distance of at least 1 km (or other appropriate distance that makes the movement of individuals between populations highly unlikely). ^[The following RANKSPECS need to be revised to incorporate quantitative information on population size or extent of occupied habitat patch. ARANKSPECS: Large population in large extent of suitable habitat; threats appear to be manageable. BRANKSPECS: Moderate population in large extent of suitable habitat, or large population in a moderate extent of suitable habitat; threats appear to be manageable. CRANKSPECS: Moderate population in a moderate extent of suitable habitat, or population and/or extent of habitat is/are larger but threats are difficult to manage. DRANKSPECS: Occurrence is represented only by infrequent observations of few individuals, or population is larger but threats are very difficult to manage; population persistence is unlikely. Descriotors: TAXDIST: B TAXON. STAT: A GTAXCOM: Removed from the genus HYBOPSIS and placed in the resurrected genus MACRHYBOPSIS by B89MAY01NA and Coburn and Cavender (1992); this change was adopted in the 1991 AFS checklist (B91ROB01NA). OLD.TAXCOM: GEXEMPSITE: Missouri River HABITAT: PERMANENCE: Permanent. Rankinq Factors: GESTEOS : U GESTEOSCOM: GABUND : U GABUNDCOM: Survey results tend to vary between single individuals to over 100. However, the results summarized by USFWS (1993:18- 12) for the Missouri River demonstrate that this species occurs in low densities. Missouri Heritage Program reported that it is "fairly abundant" (i.e., Missouri may be "the last stronghold") .
