Management Recommendations
To ensure the long life and thriving reproduction of I. niger, protection and restoration of larger river habitat is needed. The education of anglers, biologist, and the general public of taxonomy, systematics, and habitat use is needed. The species is very difficult due to natural hybridization and is hard for both research and enforcement. Dams need to be equipped with fish passages to connect fragmented habitats. Invasive species that compete or degrade the habitat of native fishes need to be controlled.

Famous quotes containing the word management:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
