I also recommended them to the YouTuber. They could theoretically "ark" a population if that was needed. They specialize in rebuilding US native species where there is often only _one small place on earth_ where the species naturally breeds. I know that Penn State does do some conservation work, but I think that a dedicated breeding group is what is really needed. It's so delicate . . . if they're really _only_ in that pond, any number of factors could devastate the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 “if they're really _only_ in that pond” That was something I was curious about. I would love a conservation group verify, and rebuild the population. Good on the kid to figure it out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Dace are only a rarity up there in New Jersey. "Extirpated" is a local issue in NJ. They are propagating elsewhere in the wild successfully. iNaturaliat has observation listings here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=105208 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
