Voracious predators, they are considered an undesirable species in many waters. This is largely due to the species perceived tendency to prey upon small trout and salmon . Squawfish is their traditional name. In 1999, the American Fisheries Society adopted pikeminnow as the name it recommends, because some Native Americans in the United States Native Americans considered squaw fish offensive. ref Nelson, J.S., E.J.

There are historical and anecdotal reports of Colorado pikeminnows nearing 6 feet 1.8 metre m in length and 80 pounds 36 kg in weight. The species is near extinction in its native Colorado River basin habitat, due to extensive habitat destruction.

Unreferenced date December 2008 The Dexter National Fish Hatchery & Technology Center is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service facility dedicated to fish culture techniques for threatened and endangered fishes of the American Southwest. Located in Dexter, New Mexico , it is the only federal facility in the nation dedicated to studying and holding only threatened and endangered fish. Scientists at the Dexter facility perform life history studies and carefully analyze fish genetics while maintaining a refuge for 16 imperiled fish species. Dexter National Fish Hatchery was established in 1931, to satisfy demands for game fish throughout the Southwest. New laws brought changes to the hatchery in the 1970s. Fish species On 1 January 2007, the Dexter National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center held 16 threatened and endangered species.

Fish are raised from these broodstocks with the intent of reintroducing them into their native habitat. Close monitoring at the hatchery include developing propagation and culture techniques, conducting water quality data, diet and nutrition testing, life history studies, reproductive physiology and genetic management.

The list includes several anadromous species, and two normally marine species starry flounder and shiner perch that are occasionally found in freshwater. Only one species Olympic mudminnow is a Washington Endemic ecology endemic , however three others Nooksack dace , Salish sucker, and Margined sculpin have very limited distributions outside the state.
