Mohave tui chub
The Mohave tui chub (Siphateles bicolor mohavensis) is a subspecies of fish. It is an endangered chub originally found only in the Mojave River. In their original Mojave River habitat, the Mohave chub have hybridized with the coastal chub (Gila orcutti); because of this, the Mojave Chub Spring is now the main source for all genetically "pure" Mohave chubs. Other locations, such as marshlands in the China Lake Naval Weapons Station in California, have been used as refuges for this pure variety by intentionally introducing the fish into each location. The fish was listed as a federally-recognized endangered species in 1970. Even though named after the Mojave River, the fish's name is normally spelled "Mohave". It was named by ichthyologist Robert Rush Miller. See also
