Lakes and low-gradient stream reaches of Warner Valley. Prefer pool habitat in streams. Juvenile stage is vulnerable to predation.
Limiting factors
Altered hydrology (low flows). Lack of connectivity between streams and lake in some portions of the range. Availability of water (linked to natural cycles) and understanding the influence of climate change on natural water cycles.
Data gaps
Genetics. Long-term habitat needs for self-sustaining populations. Spawning habitat.
Conservation actions
Maintain or restore spring waters. Maintain or restore migration corridors among habitat areas. Increase stream flows in lower sections of tributaries. Restore wetland habitat. Evaluate likelihood of long-term persistence in the presence of non-natives.
