Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Murray Spring (SPRNCA) COA

Future management plans include continued monitoring of the native fish populations. It is possible that longfin dace are affecting the ability of Gila topminnow and desert pupfish to establish at the site due to competition for habitat and resources. Cattail and crayfish removal would be a beneficial habitat improvement.
