LOW CERTAINTY

MT Conservation Rank:
S3S4 (Potential Species of Concern)


Synopsis: The Cedar Sculpin was only described as a unique species in 2014. It is isolated to the headwaters of the lower Clark Fork River and Lake Couer d'Alene basins with a disjunct population on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range. Little is known about its life history or environmental requirements. Because our study is the first to examine its climate vulnerability, we provide predicted losses with low certainty.Â
