The Paiute Cutthroat Trout, a
subspecies of the Cutthroat Trout, is on the U.S. Endangered Species
List. It is classified as threatened in California. The decline of

water-management practices, mining, and logging; overfishing; and
the introduction of non-native fishes which prey upon, compete with,
and hybridize with the natives.
