Date 13 MAR 96 dace is the only known fish species in the Kendall Warm Springs. The subspecies has this status wherever found including the State of Wyoming. The Kendall Warm Springs dace currently has no commercial value although individuals were once used as fish bait. However, the species does have scientific value as it may represent evolutionary adaptation to a restricted habitat. The Kendall Warm Springs dace is associated with the numerous seeps and springs of the Kendall Warm Springs area and its outflow stream located along the north face of a small limestone ridge.
Aquatic vegetation surrounds the stream and is often very thick within the pools.
The species occurs in the pools and mainstream eddies of Kendall Warm Springs and th outflow stream. The stream flows 300 m before dropping over a travertine embankment into the Green River. No specific information on food habits of this species is available. No information describing home range or territoriality is available, although the Kendall Warm Springs dace usually form small schools. The Kendall Warm Springs dace numbers seem to corelate with disolved oxygen and carbon dioxide levels with fewer fish upstream and none at the Kendall Warm Springs source.
