USGS is working with the Nevada Department of Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to capture White River Spinedace with trap nets in the Flag Springs complex as part of a mark-recapture study. The goals of this study are to estimate seasonal survival and examine seasonal movements indicative of spawning activity for this rare species.
