. Sacramento and Klamath Speckled Dace are wide-spread and abundant in the large basins they inhabit. Warner Speckled Dace, including the population in Foskett Spring, are limited by the low availability of water in the desert Warner Basin. Their populations for now seem reasonably secure, although the basin has been invaded by non-native species. The Foskett Spring population was listed in 1985 as a Threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act but it was delisted in 2019, following implementation of the recovery plan.
