SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

announce the availability of our draft 

revised recovery plan for the Gila trout 

(Oncorhynchus gilae), listed as 

threatened under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Gila trout are 

endemic to mountain streams in the 

Gila, San Francisco, Agua Fria, and 

Verde River drainages in New Mexico 

and Arizona. The draft revised recovery 

plan includes site-specific management 

actions and objective, measurable 

criteria that, when met, will enable us 

to remove the Gila trout from the list of 

endangered and threatened wildlife. We 

request review and comment on this 

plan from local, State, and Federal 

agencies; Tribes; and the public. We 

will also accept any new information on 

the status of the Gila trout throughout 

its range to assist in finalizing the 

recovery plan. 

Background 

Recovery of endangered or threatened 

animals and plants to the point where 

they are again secure, self-sustaining 

members of their ecosystems is a 

primary goal of our endangered species 

program and the ESA. Recovery means 

improvement of the status of listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer appropriate under the criteria 

set out in section 4(a)(1) of the ESA. The 

ESA requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species, unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. The 

Service approved the original recovery 

plan for the Gila trout on January 12, 

1979 (Service 1979), with subsequent 

revisions approved on January 3, 1984 

(Service 1984), December 8, 1993 

(Service 1993), and August 19, 2003 

(Service 2003). 

This draft revised recovery plan for 

the Gila trout represents the fourth 

revision and considers updated 

information on genetics, population 

status, and threats (principally wildfire 

effects and hybridization) in the 

development of revised recovery 

objectives, criteria, and actions. We 

used a streamlined approach to recovery 

planning and implementation for the 

Gila trout by preparing separate 

recovery plan and recovery 

implementation strategy documents. 

The information in the draft recovery 

plan provides the biological 

background, a threats assessment, a 

strategy for recovery of the Gila trout, 

quantitative delisting criteria, a list of 

prioritized recovery actions, and the 

estimated time and cost to recovery 

(Service 2020a). The separate recovery 

implementation strategy document 

further describes in detail the specific 

activities needed to implement the 

recovery actions (Service 2020b). 

Summary of Species Information 

Gila trout are endemic to mountain 

streams within the Gila, San Francisco, 

Agua Fria, and Verde River drainages in 

New Mexico and Arizona. Although 

Gila trout were documented to occur in 

the upper Gila River basin since at least 

1885, the species was not described 

until 1950, by which time its 

distribution had been dramatically 

reduced. On March 11, 1967, we listed 

the Gila trout as endangered under the 

Federal Endangered Species 

Preservation Act of 1966 (32 FR 4001). 

The Gila trout’s endangered status was 

continued under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, and we reclassified 

it as a threatened species on July 18, 

2006, with a special rule under section 

4(d) of the ESA (71 FR 40657). 

Gila trout are readily identified by 

their iridescent gold sides, which blend 

to a darker shade of copper on the 

opercles (bony plates surrounding the 

gills). Spots on the body are small and 

profuse, generally occurring above the 

lateral line and extending onto the head, 

dorsal fin, and caudal fin. These spots 

are irregularly shaped on the sides and 

increase in size dorsally. A few 

scattered spots are sometimes present 

on the anal fin, and the adipose fin is 

typically large and well spotted. Dorsal, 

pelvic, and anal fins have a white to 

yellowish tip that may extend along the 

leading edge of the pelvic fins. A yellow 

cutthroat mark is present on most 

mature specimens. Parr marks (vertical 

bars present when trout are less than a 

year old) are commonly retained by 

adults, and a faint, salmon-pink band is 

also present on adults, particularly 

during spawning season, when the 

normally white belly may be streaked 

with yellow or reddish orange. 

Spawning of Gila trout occurs mainly in 

April and begins when water 

temperatures reach about 8 °C (46 °F), 

but day length may also be an important 

cue. Gila trout fry [20 to 25 millimeters 

(mm), or 0.8 to 1.0 inches (in) total 

length] emerge in 56 to 70 days. Females 

reach maturity between two to four 

years after hatching, and males typically 

reach maturity at two or three years. 

Most individuals are mature at a length 

of 150 mm (6 in) or greater, and live five 

years. Thus, the majority of adult female 

Gila trout spawn only twice before
