Краткое содержание
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of a draft recovery plan for the relict darter. The relict darter is apparently endemic to the Bayou du Chien drainage. Within this drainage the fish is now known from five sites in Graves and Hickman Counties, Kentucky, and it is known to spawn in only one Bayou due Chien tributary in Graves County. The species has been and continues to be impacted by water quality and habitat deterioration resulting from channel dredging, siltation contributed by poor land use practices, and by other water pollutants. The fish's limited distribution also makes it vulnerable to toxic chemical spills. The Service solicits review and comments from the public on this draft plan.
