A Rare Olive-Colored Fish that Exists only in Nevada Could Soon Be Listed as an Endangered Species

  • In May 2025, a federal agency announced a proposal to classify the rare Fish Lake Valley tui chub in Nevada as an endangered species.
  • This development follows a 2023 lawsuit filed by an environmental group that resulted in a settlement requiring a listing decision by May 2025.
  • The designation is warranted due to destruction and modification of its habitat caused by groundwater pumping, agriculture, climate change, invasive species, and looming mining projects.
  • The olive-colored minnow is less than 5 inches long and now survives in only one pond threatened by groundwater extraction mainly for alfalfa and development pressures.
  • Federal protections could prevent extinction, which experts say would cause the collapse of the surrounding ecosystem relying on shared groundwater.
