The White River Chub

White River Chub is retained as Gila jordani, also called Pahranagat Roundtail Chub. It should not silently inherit the full account of broadly treated Roundtail Chub.

Range and Identity

The inventory identity is Gila jordani. The reviewed taxonomic account links that name with Pahranagat Roundtail Chub in Nevada. A broad lookup that resolves to Gila robusta does not establish that every range or maximum measurement in the broader treatment belongs to this narrower entry.

Habitat and Behavior

The locality account includes thermal spring outflows and the Pahranagat River. Exact historical sites should retain their dates. The reviewed summary is not treated as a new field survey proving present abundance or the complete current boundary of every remaining population.

Food and Life History

No broad Roundtail Chub maximum length or weight is assigned to this fish. A detailed feeding list and reproductive sequence also remain unestablished for the exact identity in the material checked. These evidence limits are preferable to replacing the original fish with a broader related account.

Field Note

Keep the original name, source treatment and precise spring or river locality together. That preserves useful historical evidence while making the distinction between a narrow identity and a broad taxonomic compilation explicit.
