Grant for Assessing Razorback Sucker Genetic Diversity to Enhance Conservation
SynopsisVersion HistoryRelated DocumentsPackage This grant is for supporting critical research into the endangered Razorback Sucker (Xyrauchen texanus). Once abundant, populations have drastically declined due to environmental changes and non-native species, leading to their endangered status. Despite significant efforts, including the Multi-Species Conservation Program stocking over 18,000 fish annually and protective rearing of larvae, long-term survival and wild recruitment remain consistently low, primarily due to predation. This initiative seeks to assess the [...]
