Millicoma Dace Photo Credit: Doug Markle, Oregon State University Overview Species Common Name Millicoma Dace Species Scientific Name Rhinichthys cataractae ssp Federal Listing Status Species of Concern State Listing Status Sensitive Ecoregions Coast Range Oregon's Coast Range, known for its dramatic scenery, is extremely diverse, with habitats ranging from open sandy dunes to lush forests and from tidepools to headwater streams. It follows the coastline and extends east through coastal forest to the border of the Willamette Valley and Klamath Mountains ecoregions Special needs Cool, swift streams. Cobbles and gravel for rearing and spawning. Limiting factors Lack of cobble or gravel habitat. Limited distribution. Altered flow regimes (because of culverts, channelization). Altered sediment regimes, including changes in timing of input and ratio of particle size. Data gaps Distribution. Conservation actions Create and maintain gravel habitat. Maintain or restore flow and sediment regimes to improve habitat quality. Maintain or improve riparian conditions, including habitat for beavers. Foster relationships, partnerships, stewardship, and incentives with partners. Opportunities for research and habitat restoration on Elliott State Research Forest.
