Tui Chub
The Tui chub (''Siphateles bicolor'') is a species of freshwater Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, chubs, Phoxinus, Eurasian minnows and related fishes. This fish is native to western North America. Widespread in many areas, it is a highly adaptable fish that has historically been a staple food source for native peoples. The Tui chub has been referred to as both ''Siphateles bicolor'' and ''Gila bicolor'' in scientific literature; the same is true of several subspecies, such as the Owens Tui Chub (''Siphateles bicolor snyderi'') also being referred to as ''Gila bicolor snyderi''. Despite the differing names, in this context, both scientific names are referring to the same species and subspecies based on some papers explicitly indicating these names are equivalent. Range and Distribution During the Pleistocene, Tui chub lived in the Great Basin’s large pluvial lakes. As time passed, these lakes ...

Siphateles Boraxobius
The Borax Lake chub (''Siphateles boraxobius'') is a species of freshwater Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, chubs, Phoxinus, Eurasian minnows and related fishes. This is a rare species which is found only in outflows and pools around Borax Lake (Oregon), Borax Lake, a small lake of the Alvord Desert, Alvord basin, Harney County, Oregon. This species typically reaches only in length, although some are as long as . The back is generally a dark olive green, while the sides are silvery, with a dark line extending from gill cover to tail, and a scattering of dark melanophores. The fins are colorless, with more melanophores on the rays of the dorsal fin and tail, as well as on the first four rays of the pectoral fins. Similar in many ways to the Alvord chub, the Borax Lake species has a longer, wider, and deeper head, and larger eyes, and the caudal peduncle is more slender. The Borax Lake chub eats a vari ...

This is a rare species which is endemic to the Alvord basin in southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada, U.S., known only from a few springs, streams and marshes in the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, and one location elsewhere. The Alvord chub is a small fish, with adults ranging up to in length, but with many half that size. It is generally grayish-whitish, darker on the back than below, and with a faint band passing down the sides. The dorsal fin has 7 rays, the anal fin 8 rays, and the tail 19 rays. It is similar in many ways to the Borax Lake chub. Studies of the fish's diet shows it is an opportunistic feeder, consuming a variety of aquatic invertebrates, with a considerable percentage of midge larvae. It occupies a variety of habitats within its range, including waters of ...

Siphateles Bicolor Mohavensis
The Mohave tui chub (''Siphaletes bicolor mohavensis'') is a subspecies of the tui chub endemic to the Mojave River. The Mohave tui chub was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1970, then added to California's list of endangered species in 1971. A recovery plan was created by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in 1984. Description Adult Mohave tui chubs' standard length ranges from However, some adults can reach or longer. They have a thick body and short, rounded fins. These fish have a brown to dark olive colored back and blueish white to silver belly. The species does not demonstrate sexual dimorphism. Females spawn from February to October and lay between 4,000 and 50,000 eggs that stick to aquatic vegetation. Mohave tui chubs are adapted to survive the Mojave River's alkaline water, low oxygen levels, and high water temperatures. Adults are solitary and inhabit deeper waters. Mohave tui chubs subsist on insect larvae, small fish, and detritus ...

Siphateles Bicolor Snyderi
The Owens tui chub (''Siphateles bicolor snyderi'') was described in 1973 as a subspecies of tui chub endemic to the Owens River Basin in Eastern California, United States. The Owens tui chub is distinguished from its closest relative, the Lahontan tui chub, by scales with a weakly developed or absent basal shield, 13 to 29 lateral and apical radii, also by the structure of its pharyngeal arches, the number of anal fin rays, 10 to 14 gill rakers, and 52 to 58 lateral line scales. Dorsal and lateral coloration varies from bronze to dusky green, grading to silver or white on the belly. It may reach a total length of . Owens tui chub are believed to be derived from Lahontan Basin tui chub that entered the Owens Basin from the north during the Pleistocene Epoch. Owens tui chub were historically common and occupied all valley-floor wetlands near the Owens River in Inyo and Mono counties. Owens suckers, Owens speckled dace, and Owens pupfish have a similar distribution to the Owens ...
