ITIS Reports — Gila bicolor ssp. mohavensis ITIS (the Integrated Taxonomic Information System) is a source for authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world. The Mohave tui chub (Siphateles bicolor mohavensis) is a species of fish. It is an endangered chub originally found only in the Mojave River. Even though named after the Mojave River, the fish’s name is normally spelled “Mohave”. It was named by ichthyologist Robert Rush Miller.
The fish managed to end up in Mojave Chub Spring, possibly from flooding from the Mojave River.

FWS Digital Media Library — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Digital Library is a searchable collection of selected images, historical artifacts, audio clips, publications, and video. In their original Mojave River habitat, the Mohave chub have hybridized with the coastal chub (Gila orcutti); because of this, the Mojave Chub Spring is now the main source for all genetically “pure” Mohave chubs. Other locations in California have been used as refuges for this pure variety by intentionally introducing the fish into the location.
