Abstract

We report an apparently successful effort to restore native fishes to a pool in the Cuatro Ciénegas Bolsón, Coahuila, Mexico. The results demonstrate the feasibility, in small, confined systems, of eliminating a recently introduced nonnative fish, the spotted jewelfish (Hemichromis guttatus), and transplanting a native fish assemblage from nearby areas. We recommend that similar removal and restoration activities be conducted to protect the unique, highly endemic Cuatro Ciénegas fish fauna.
