Get to know the only surviving member of genus Empetrichthys, the desert-dwelling Pahrump Poolfish! This Nevada native is not nearly as well-known as its neighbor, the Devils Hole Pupfish, but similarly is endangered and endemic to isolated, highly specific desert habitat. In six seasons of Fish of the Week, this is the FIRST species we've covered in the family Goodeidae! Our guests are fish biologists Kevin Guadalupe from the Nevada Department of Wildlife's Native Fish and Amphibian Program and James Harter from our Southern Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office. You'll get a slice of history, hear about a creative and collaborative conservation approach, and leave with hope for the future.
