Management Factors
Activities that are known to be detrimental to the Yaqui Catfish populations are the de-watering of habitats through stream usage and re-routing, stream impoundment, channelization, domestic livestock grazing, timber harvesting, mining, road construction, polluting, and stocking non-natives.
Threats: aquifer pumping; reduction in stream flows; water diversion; drought; hybridization, competition and predation by nonnative fishes.
Management Needs: protect San Bernardino aquifers, and Leslie Creek and Black Draw watersheds to ensure adequate perennial flow; ameliorate effects of nonnative fishes; reintroduce into suitable habitats within historical range; stabilize and protect populations in Mexico.
