| Recovery Plan for the Rare Aquatic Species of the Muddy River Ecosystem | RF(1) | 8 | Southern Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (702) 515-5230 | Moapa dace | Moapa coriacea | 1 | 11 | Develop (FY 1996) and implement habitat protection agreements | Ongoing Current | FY 2006 | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service | Clark County, Nevada, Nevada Department of Wildlife, U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Other, Southern Nevada Water Authority, Moapa Band of Paiutes, Moapa Valley Water District, Nevada Energy, INC | Management: Habitat Maintenance and Manipulation, Management: Planning | Internal Technical Assistance | Conservation measures were committed to in FY 2006 under a section 7 consultation-related Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), including a Recovery Implementation Program. Efforts are ongoing in 2014 led by a Biological Advisory Committee that reports to an Executive Committee representing signatories of the MOA (Section 7 Recovery/Mitigation). | |||||||||||

Habitat restoration in several areas (Plummer, Pederson, Apcar) have reduced populations hence impacts of exotic fish on native fish. Some barriers can now be replaced with pass-through barriers that allow natural flows when the barriers are not closed (because exotic fish have been eliminated). | 12-1 | Chemical eradication of tilapia (exotic invader) from the upper Muddy River was begun in 2010 and continued in 2011 and 2012. These efforts are on-going in terms of maintaining vigilance against re-invasion, but appear at this point to have been successful. | Ongoing Current | 2010 | Labor type not yet selected | Work type not yet selected | Chemical and habitat restoration-mediated eradication of exotic tilapia began in 2009. In Aug 2011 an infestation of tilapia was discovered within the area previously thought to be clear of these fish. Many eradication efforts seem to have eradicated these invaders from the Warm Springs portion of the Muddy River. Efforts are underway now to remove tilapia all the way downstream to about Wells Siding -- a distance of about 20 river miles. | ||||

Both areas are supporting dace where none have existed for years. A major effort is in progress on South Fork channel, involving removal of tilapia. More dispersed efforts have also succeeded in improving habitat conditions for dace throughout many of the reaches, including in particular the Plummer spring system, which now supports nearly half of the global Moapa dace population. | 13-1 | Reconnect the existing lower Pederson channel to the Apcar stream to ensure optimum habitat quality for Moapa dace. | Complete | 2008 | 2009 | Labor type not yet selected | Work type not yet selected | Channel was finished in October 2008 and was colonized by Moapa dace almost immediately. Less than a year later a substantial population exist within the new reach (count in Aug 2005 was ~ 50 fish, representing about 10% of the global population of dace). | |||

The project was finished in spring 2009 and by mid summer Moapa dace had naturally recolonized the area. Dace had been absent from the area for several years prior to the restoration efforts conclusion. | |||

The first goal has been reached but the 2nd is awaiting funding and scheduling (prioritization) to move forward. | ||||
