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:
“The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
