Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Apache Trout 

(Oncorhynchus apache) Recovery 

Plan, Second Revision 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability: 

Revised recovery plan. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

availability of the Apache Trout 

(Oncorhynchus apache) Recovery Plan, 

Second Revision. This species is one of 

two salmonid species native to Arizona 

and is currently listed as threatened. It 

was originally listed as endangered in 

1967, but reclassified to threatened in 

1975. 

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the 

recovery plan can be obtained from our 

Web site at http://www.fws.gov/ 

southwest/es/Library/. Copies of the 

recovery plan are also available by 

request. To obtain a copy, contact 

Jeremy Voeltz by U.S. mail at U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, Arizona Fish and 

Wildlife Conservation Office, P.O. Box 

39, Pinetop, AZ 85935; by phone at 

(928) 338–4288 extension 23; or by email at Jeremy_Voeltz@fws.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species, unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

Recovery plans help guide the recovery 

effort by describing actions considered 

necessary for the conservation of the 

species, and estimating time and costs 

for implementing the measures needed 

for recovery. A recovery plan was 

originally completed for Apache trout in 

1979 and updated in 1983, but the 

recommendations contained in those 

plans are outdated given the species’ 

current status. 

Section 4(f) of the Act requires that 

we provide public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. In fulfillment of this 

requirement, we made the draft second 

revision of the recovery plan for Apache 

trout available for public comment from 

July 27, 2007, through September 25, 

2007 (72 FR 41350). We also conducted 

peer review at this time. Based on this 

input, we revised and finalized the 

recovery plan, and summarized public 

comments in an appendix. 

Apache trout (Oncorhynchus apache) 

was formerly described as Salmo 

apache with the common name Arizona 

trout, but changed after the American 

Fisheries Society Names Committee 

showed that the relationship between 

the cutthroat and rainbow series of trout 

(including Apache trout) lie with 

Oncorhynchus rather than Salmo. 

Apache trout is one of two salmonid 

species native to Arizona (the other is 

Gila trout, Oncorhynchus gilae), and is 

currently listed as threatened (July 16, 

1975, 40 FR 29863). Although originally 

listed as endangered (March 11, 1967, 

32 FR 4001), the species was downlisted 

in 1975 after a reanalysis of its status 

successful culturing in captivity and 

greater knowledge of existing 

populations. Its reclassification to 

threatened status included a 4(d) rule 

under the Act, allowing the Arizona 

Department of Game and Fish to 

regulate take of the species and to 

establish sportfishing opportunities 

(July 16, 1975, 40 FR 29863). 

Historically, Apache trout occupied 

streams and rivers in the upper White, 

Black, and Little Colorado River 

drainages in the White Mountains of 

east-central Arizona. Currently, 28 pure 

Apache trout populations exist within 

historical range in Gila, Apache, and 

Greenlee Counties of Arizona, on lands 

of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation 

and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. 

Watershed alterations related 

primarily to forestry, livestock grazing, 

reservoir construction, agriculture, road 

construction, and mining were 

identified as causes for reduction of 

Apache trout habitat. Such alterations 

damage riparian vegetation and 

streambank morphology and stability, 

which increases stream erosion and can 

ultimately result in higher sediment 

loads. These effects increase 

susceptibility to habitat damage from 

floods, decrease quality and quantity of 

spawning and rearing areas, alter stream 

flow volume and temperatures, and alter 

stream productivity and food supply 

(e.g., stream dwelling insects). In 

addition, introductions of non-native 

trout (i.e., brook and brown trout) have 

led to competition for resources and 

predation, or hybridization with 

rainbow trout or cutthroat trout. 

Collectively, these factors have varied in 

intensity, complexity, and damage 

depending on location, ultimately 

reducing the total occupied range and 

the ability of Apache trout to effectively 

persist at all life stages. 

Actions needed to recover the Apache 

trout include completing required 

regulatory compliance for stream 

improvements and fish stocking, 

implementing appropriate State and 

tribal fishing regulations, maintaining 

existing fish barriers, enhancing habitat, 

removing or minimizing undesirable 

fishes using piscicides or other feasible 

means, maintaining existing selfsustaining populations of pure Apache 

trout, establishing new self-sustaining 

populations, and monitoring all 

populations. 

The recovery plan provides delisting 

criteria for the species that will indicate 

that the species is no longer threatened 

with extinction throughout all or a 

significant portion of its range. Apache 

trout should be considered for removal 

from the List of Threatened and 

Endangered Species (delisting) when all 

of the following criteria have been met: 

(1) Habitat sufficient to provide for all 

life functions at all life stages of 30 selfsustaining discrete populations of pure 

Apache trout has been established and 

protected through plans and agreements 

with responsible land and resource 

management entities. These plans will 

address current and future threats to 

Apache trout habitat. 

(2) Thirty discrete populations of pure 

Apache trout have been established and 

determined to be self-sustaining. A 

population will be considered selfsustaining by the presence of multiple 

age classes and evidence of periodic 

natural reproduction. A population will 

be considered established when it is 

capable of persisting under the range of 

variation in habitat conditions that 

occur in the restoration stream. 

(3) Appropriate angling regulations 

are in place to protect Apache trout 

populations while complying with 

Federal, State, and tribal regulatory 

processes. 

(4) Agreements are in place with the 

Service, Arizona Game and Fish 

Department, and White Mountain 

Apache Tribe to monitor, prevent, and 

control disease and/or causative agents, 

parasites, and pathogens that may 

threaten Apache trout.
