Anything for the state of Arizona, I haven’t seen any top 10’s for my home, also for the manatees Florida waters just had the red tide like couple months ago, so many dead fish, dolphins and manatees
Apache Trout and Desert Pupfish are in that category at this point if I remember correctly. I was born in Tucson so I'm curious about the San Pedro River area for instance.
I've seen gulf sturgeon, quite a sight and one I never expected to see growing up in the sunshine state well south of their range... there's only 1-3 rivers they are still remotely thriving, may change soon due to uneccesary toll roads & thus urban spawl but.. hopefully I'll get some great footage on goPro while kayaking this year up there again :] Edit: but yeah red tide has become a Regular occurance, humans are 100% to blame... What can you do tho
Pallid sturgeon are an incredibly interesting endangered species found in the Missouri River system. Has to be one of the only sturgeon I haven’t seen mentioned
I'd love a top 5 or 10 focused on the unique habitat where i live, Puget sound/hood canal. You could also turn this into a miniseries by looking at other unique habitats like the great lakes, Chesapeake bay, lake Baikal, the caspian sea, etc.
Nice content. Thanks! My suggestions for a pt. 2 Video for N.-America: Acipenser brevirostrum & Fundulus julisia. Considering Mexico (or parts of this great country) also belonging to N.-America, maybe also Characodon audax (and most of the other Goodeid species). For an amphibian, maybe Notophthalmus meridionalis, occurring in both the U.S. and Mexico.
I have seen old pictures of Gulf Sturgeon that weighed several hundred pounds that were caught in surprisingly small rivers in Alabama. Still small compared to the largest species, but impressive nonetheless. Fortunately, fisheries biologists have discovered several populations in the undammed rivers that flow into the Florida panhandle that they are studying. They have tagged several fish weighing over one hundred pounds. Minnows in the sturgeon world.
North east coast/ st. john's river also technically has sturgeon (at least sometimes, might migrate there from other atlantic rivers. Apparently St. Mary's on the NE FL border has small populations or at least 8 years ago) but very rare. Much more heavily impacted than the Suwannee river populations (more pollution, dredging, damming of a major tributary) but still, they are occasionally found in the St. John's (atlantic & shortnose species) but I think many people are skeptical that they are successfully breeding there and environmental issues will never let up over there
Gulf Sturgeon is protected in Gulf …. If you catch one via rod and reel it’s like a once in a lifetime thing . you can’t target them…… The fisheries in gulf have phone numbers to call if you accidentally catch one , see a dead one etc…… the punishment for violation are super steep …..
Being a somewhat Salmonid specialist, the Bull , Brook, and Dolly are all in the Genus Salvelinus(Chars) and can all interbreed where the Easterner, the Brookie will do a lot more harm than Dolly's which are both Western char. If the produce viable offspring the Bull trout could be bred out of existence.
I nominate the hellbender for an endangered species in the US. And hey, while you're taking ideas, endangered species on the Green River watershed in the US (Kentucky) is ripe for candidates. It's the most biologically diverse river system in the United States and runs through a UNESCO World Heritage site, Mammoth Cave National Park. Which itself has plenty of subterranean aquatic species that are in trouble.
can you do a series of fish that transform totaly from egg to adulthood? like the european Eel or the sole? or a tadpole? i think there are alot of strange transformations in the animal kingdom.
yeah it really is such a shame that they're being wiped out, there no other family like them. I can't imagine it would be easy to catch a beluga sturgeon though haha
The Olympic mudminnow is a species endemic the the Chehalis river in Washington state USA and due to local development and invasive species it is becoming rarer, worse still is that despite being easy to breed conservation efforts have been minimal and it is illegal to obtain in any reasonable capacity.
I love all of your videos on North American fishes, I live in Georgia and we have a few shiner species that are protected here which only sucks a little bit because I want some in my native tank lol
I mean there's multitudes of issues that rivers/ waterways face. That's definitely a huge almost unsurmountable one, especially multiple dams on a river & even in tributaries. If I had to sort the main issues at present (& I'm no grand expert, just speculations, might accidently overlook or forget some) I'd say roughly: Class 1 issues (in no particular order): Heavy metals/ radioactive and other very bad pollutants, dams, developing up shoreline, straightening river channels Class 2: Overpumping, adding too many nutrients (obviously worse the less water there is/ in drought times too), pfas contaminants & etc wastewater or urban runoff, loss of connection with floodplain or tributaries Class 3: Invasive species, boat usage (stresses wildlife, oil into emvironment),most man-made litter or debris in environment I mean not always straight forward, but does seem big systems get degraded/ show signs of stress before partial or total collapse, if ever. There can also be "death by a thousand cuts", where fairly minor issues add up, stay persistent over time & maybe get worse. Overall more degraded river, but hardly anyone notices because of fairly slow shifting baselines. Anyways, just my observations from loving some wild or fairly wild rivers & paying attention to some stressors. Feel free anyone to critique or correct. Hard to put this complicated world into perfect little categories (& issues can likely get in another class if bad enough. Not even sure where to place direct overharvesting of certain animals, def. even local & functional extinctions should have observable ecosystem consequences ) and wish modern ecosystems didn't have to put up with man's gr33d & expl0its... but nature still goes on, if it can, as long as it can
Correction: manatees coexist with alligators and sharks. However, alligators are incapable of taking one down, so they don't need to be wary. This is why they are so tame and unresponsive to loud noises and such
The name for the west indian manatee is misleading, thats because the manatee lives in the americas not in india. Im going to rename the west indian manatee the american manatee or just called manatee.
Yo sorry but I have to sadly say I am not... Like.The animal is already very much dead So by not eating it.You're making a waste of food Once again...I am sorry
@@-theguiltycormorant-1043 the problem with eating meat is that to raise animals you have to feed them, this process destroys the environment. instead of feeding the animals yourself, you can eat the plants. then 80% less crop pools are needed. and animals are chased and killed in terrible conditions.
Love your channel since I found it.
Thanks I'm glad you like the vids :)
@@TsukiCove they are educated and enjoyable to watch with my nieces and nephews
I’m always very interested in all the videos on this channel. Very under rated and great content

Good video as always
thank you i appreciate it :)
Great vid my dude
Do you have a video specifically on sturgeon of the world? I'd be interested in whatever species are Pacific Northwest
I forgot to comment how a new tsuki video makes my mornings better

i have literally never heard of these species
good job tsuki

Candy darters are also in eastern parts of Kentucky
I live on the Suwannee River which is one of the primary spawning rivers in the country and are heavily protected
Manatees couldn't be that endangered, I wake up next to one every morning!
Jk 😜
could you make a video about the differences between manatees and dugongs? i’ve always been curious and i absolutely love your channel

Do a video abou extinct freshwater fish in recent years
can you do a series of fish that transform totaly from egg to adulthood? like the european Eel or the sole? or a tadpole? i think there are alot of strange transformations in the animal kingdom.
great idea but tadpoles are not fish
@@apss5736 yes i know.
the channel features now more then only fish.
so i put in a frog semi aquatic, seems apropiate.
@@MrHoppeltje true i kind of miss the fish content but the animal vids are awesome as well
from NC and going to school in VA, amazing seeing the biodiversity and hope they get proper protection
Sturgeon is a fish i dont want to see get killed off by our action many of us hope to see them around i sure do so i can catch one
yeah it really is such a shame that they're being wiped out, there no other family like them. I can't imagine it would be easy to catch a beluga sturgeon though haha
@@TsukiCove please 5 largest prehistoric fish
can you do a vedo top 5 endangered whales and dolpin that need our help to get off the red list
thats a really good idea i'll add it to the list of videos to do :)
Porpoises and beaked whales to??

6:51 Uu, rock turners.
So how about a vid of threatend species of México
I love all of your videos on North American fishes, I live in Georgia and we have a few shiner species that are protected here which only sucks a little bit because I want some in my native tank lol
The devil hole pupfish is the rarest fish on earth.
Could you do a invasive species in California please.
Do the 5 most dangerous turtles !!!
i bet snapping turtles are on there
Hellbender salamander? I've seen a couple of two footers in the wild. Most people would be amazed at what these are.
@@donaldseigel4101 They are still fairly common in the watershed that I live in.
@@donaldseigel4101 Loyalsock valley off of the West Branch Susquehanna in PA. It's still very pristine.
Dams are the ultimate cause of most fish and aquatic animal problems.
I mean there's multitudes of issues that rivers/ waterways face. That's definitely a huge almost unsurmountable one, especially multiple dams on a river & even in tributaries. If I had to sort the main issues at present (& I'm no grand expert, just speculations, might accidently overlook or forget some) I'd say roughly:
Class 1 issues (in no particular order): Heavy metals/ radioactive and other very bad pollutants, dams, developing up shoreline, straightening river channels
Class 2: Overpumping, adding too many nutrients (obviously worse the less water there is/ in drought times too), pfas contaminants & etc wastewater or urban runoff, loss of connection with floodplain or tributaries
Class 3: Invasive species, boat usage (stresses wildlife, oil into emvironment),most man-made litter or debris in environment

There can also be "death by a thousand cuts", where fairly minor issues add up, stay persistent over time & maybe get worse.

#savethesturgeon
I'm pretty sure I caught a log perch in a minnow trap in East Tennessee
Should do endangered fish we helped recover to least concern
Southern California Steelhead is endangered and that fricken oil spill in Orange County hasn't helped. .
whats the song
Correction: manatees coexist with alligators and sharks. However, alligators are incapable of taking one down, so they don't need to be wary. This is why they are so tame and unresponsive to loud noises and such
At 0:28 are those grayling?
yes
Bro give the candy darter to aquarium hobbyists and let them breed them, they’ll be unendangered pretty damn quick
What's up tsuki
Could’ve added coho salmon to the list
Dolly varden is actually the same thing as a bull trout it is a bull trout that went to the ocean
There candy darters at Texas too
Sunapee Trout!
OREWA OCHINCHIN GA DAISUKI NANDAYO
green sturgeon
Why cant humans appear on these lists
We can only dream 😔
Florida manatees are no longer endangered
freshish i missed this one shit
I'm from Florida and manatees are over populated with no predator they have no food getting rid of the vegetation that other fish depend on
I misread the title like this “ 5 threatened and Transgendered freshwater species in the Usa” …. 🤣🤣🤣
The name for the west indian manatee is misleading, thats because the manatee lives in the americas not in india.
Im going to rename the west indian manatee the american manatee or just called manatee.
if you really want to help animals, be vegan. It's helpful and healthy. great material thank you :-)
I already am
Yo sorry but
I have to sadly say
I am not...
Like.The animal is already very much dead
So by not eating it.You're making a waste of food
Once again...I am sorry
