“…These fish spawn neutrally buoyant, non‐adhesive ova directly into the water column (Platania & Altenbach, 1998). Pelagic‐broadcast spawning is a rare reproductive mode among freshwater fishes (Hoagstrom & Turner, 2015), and many of these species have declined throughout the American west (Osterhaus & Martin, 2019; Pennock et al., 2017; Worthington, Brewer, Grabowski, & Mueller, 2014). Currently, RGS minnow successfully reproduce only in the Rio Grande of New Mexico.…”
