The Bluenose Shiner is a threatened species in the state of Florida. This project aims to evaluate the ecology of Bluenose Shiner across its spatially disjunct range in Florida to develop conservation strategies for this imperiled species. We will monitor Bluenose Shiner abundance along with water velocity, depth, substrate, and other habitat factors to develop a range-wide Habitat Suitability Index.
