Cyprinella bocagrande

Classification

The largemouth shiner (Cyprinella bocagrande) is a critically endangered freshwater ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows. It is found only in the Guzmán Basin in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, where it is called sardinita bocagrande. In 2012, it only survived in a single spring, which also was the last remaining habitat for the Carbonera pupfish (Cyprinodon fontinalis) and the dwarf crayfish Cambarellus chihuahuae.
