The optimal stocking strategy for Yaqui Catfish

Impact statement The Yaqui Catfish, once native to regions of the United States and Mexico, faces near extinction due to habitat degradation and nonnative hybridization. A binational Conservation Propagation and Stocking Program offers a promising solution, suggesting for the release of 200 fish per hectare every 5 years in the United States. The initiatives success, however, hinges on using multiple stocking locations in Mexico and bolstering binational collaboration.
