Recovery success for four listed fish
Article Abstract:
Efforts to preserve natural populations of four endangered fish species at the Abrams Creek, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, TN, are starting to show results. The smoky madtom, duskytail darter, yellowfin madtom and the spotfin chubs species have returned to the creek where ichthyocides were applied in 1957 to improve trout populations and eliminate non-game fish. The improved fish populations are a turning point in an ongoing 11-year conservation project initiated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service along with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the US Forest Service.
