The Desert Fishes Index to Fish Images, Maps and Information

A regional and habitat-based index is in development. This list is derived from the list of North American Freshwater Fishes of Mayden, R.L. et al. 1992 and from Williams, J.E. et al. (1989).

Scientific and common names follow Mayden et al., except for some (mostly subspecies) found only in Williams et al. This index includes native North American desert fishes (and all additional species from the Great Basin, Colorado River System, Rio Grande System, and northern Mexico, ie all the fishes from drainages that pass through deserts), as well as few exotic species and native species outside of desert drainages for which we have files.
