Vanishing breed Pupfish rescue campaign launched
A joint effort by the U S Interior Department and the Arizona Game and Fish Department seeks to save the Sonoyta River Desert Pupfish from extinction. The few remaining fish inhabit Quitobaquito Pond in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument near Ajo, Arizona. Last June golden shiners, an invasive species, were released and harmed the pupfish. Two state technicians and National Park Service staff removed about 450 pupfish for safety. After removing the shiners the fish will be returned to Quitobaquito.
