Staff at the Klamath Falls Field Station evaluate Lost River and shortnose sucker habitat relative to the presence, abundance, and health of the fish.  Sucker distribution among habitats is evaluated using occupancy models that account for imperfect detection.

Trap net set to capture White River Spinedace in the south fork of Flag Spring in Wayne E. Kirch Wildlife Management Area in southeast Nevada

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.

The green water, caused by massive blooms of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, as seen in the wake of a boat, is a common sight each summer on Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. USGS studies how these blooms effect endangered Lost River and shortnose suckers in the lake.
