Guidelines for Propagation and Translocation for Freshwater Fish Conservation

Abstract: Reestablishment of locally extinct populations and augmentation of declining populations are management activities used with increasing frequency in the conservation of imperiled fishes in the United States. Unfortunately, these options were not always carefully or appropriately used in past cases, partly owing to a lack of guidelines that address scientifically‐based protocols for propagation, translocation, reintroduction, and augmentation (PTRA). PTRA programs are an important management tool for the recove… Show more

“…We initiated a successful reintroduction program for plains topminnow that expanded the current distribution of this rare species in Nebraska. Our experimental treatments and monitoring program provide clear support for future plains topminnow reintroductions by documenting the persistence of adult individuals and reproduction at streams stocked using diverse strategies (MacKenzie & Royle 2005, George et al 2009). Although the underlying issues that caused extirpation have not been resolved, we provide a means to maintain populations of this rare fish at historically known sites until other restoration activities are devised.…”

“…Despite the importance of this conservation tool, few fish reintroduction programs have thoroughly examined success rates for different reintroduction strategies (Seddon et al 2007, George et al 2009). Descriptions of reintroduction techniques have most often been limited to retrospective accounts that have generally been unable to improve future conservation efforts (Minckley 1995, Seddon et al 2007).…”
