All eight of the original transplant animals are still alive and there is still a possibility that more kids may have been bom this spring.

The spinedace is a rare fish listed on the states threatened and endangered list. Outside of Park boundaries, Randant will set up permanent monitoring stations to get population status for not only the spinedace but woundfin minnow (classified as endangered on the federal list) and the Virgin River chub (proposed to be accepted on the federal endangered list). Mark Holden said that this type of data will assist him in establishing a statewide system for future water development. The weeklong field work was worth the effort, Radant said. Besides strengthening working relations with other agencies, Radant said he added a lot of data to his Virgin River project that began last year, including a status review of the fisheries. He said he is expecting to wrap up the status review by the end of this year. ST.
