Traven and starring Humphrey Bogart as Fred C. Dobbs. At least north of the border, Traven{\textquoteright}s tale of loco gringos prospecting for gold made Mexico{\textquoteright}s rugged mountains famous, and many cinephiles still recognize the famous quote by Gold Hat the bandito: {\textquotedblleft}Badges! We ain{\textquoteright}t got no badges. We don{\textquoteright}t need no badges! I don{\textquoteright}t have to show you any stinking badges.{\textquotedblright} Huston filmed most of his mountain scenes on location in Mexico, and some 50 years later, we found ourselves in the Sierra Madre Occidental (henceforth, SMO) of northwest Mexico with our own saga of prospecting for {\textquotedblleft}gold{\textquotedblright} beginning to unfold. Always without badges but often stinking after days of back-country camping and hiking, our binational and otherwise diverse cast of academic, government, and nonprofit biologists and fly fishers came to call itself Truchas Mexicanas (Mexican trout), after the different, but also gilded, treasure we were chasing.},

	abstract = {Few individuals on our planet do not know what trout andsalmon are. They are usually recognised as highly palatable,
and often colourful species, and most who know them likely
visualize cold, beautiful, pristine, free flowing, alpine or forest
streams and rivers as their typical habitats. Many will also
know of the remarkable migrations taken by some species,
moving from their birth locations in rivers to oceans and
then returning to their birthplaces to spawn and die. Some
may recognise their importance as prized targets of anglers,
particularly fly fishers, who spare no expenses to go after
these trophies. Many others who might not be so familiar
with the characteristics just mentioned may likely recognise
species of this family as the tasty, and usually relatively costly
fish found frozen or on ice in grocery stores and fish markets,
or in cans, or smoked, or served in restaurants. Their flesh,
often pink or rosy-coloured, is prized worldwide.
There is no doubt that fishes in this family (Salmonidae)
are well known in most of the developed and developing
countries of the world and that some have become extremely
economically and globally important commercial species that
support large-scale recreational as well as wild commercial
fisheries, and are massively produced by global aquaculture.
At the same time many are also imperilled to some degree.
Before this project, the Red List database contained
140 species of Salmonids. Here we{\textquoteright}ll focus on the genus
Oncorhynchus, commonly known as the Pacific salmons and
trout, which prior to this project was represented in the Red
List by six species. Then, setting aside the many {\textquotedblleft}salmon{\textquotedblright}
of this genus, we{\textquoteright}ll focus only on trout, specifically those of
a large and diverse lineage, best known for one species,
the famous rainbow trout (O. mykiss). Originally known only
from California and other Pacific drainages of the U.S.,
rainbow trout have long been a prized target of anglers,
and the species has been bred in captivity for at least 150
years. High demand for it for both sport fisheries, as well as
wild and captive protein production, resulted in it now being
established on every continent. It has become not only one of
the world{\textquoteright}s most important recreational fishing species, but
also one of the planet{\textquoteright}s most widely cultured vertebrates. It
is effectively global agriculture{\textquoteright}s {\textquotedblleft}fish version{\textquotedblright} of the chicken,
with global aquaculture production of the species in 2014
reaching 812,940 metric tonnes valued at nearly 4 billion US$
(U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) n.d.)
That rainbow trout of global fishery and aquaculture fame is
known to be one of about 10 closely related subspecies of
what is called the {\textquotedblleft}coastal rainbow{\textquotedblright} branch of the evolutionary
tree of the genus. Most of those are from California, but two
native Mexican taxa have long been recognised as part of
this lineage, O. m. nelsoni (Nelson{\textquoteright}s trout {\textendash} recently reviewed
by (Ruiz Campos, 2017)) of the northernmost mountains of
Baja California, and O. chrysogaster (the Mexican golden
trout {\textendash} recently covered by multiple contributors (Ruiz-Luna
\& Garcia De Le{\'o}n, 2016). Recent genetic studies (Abad{\'\i}aCardoso et al., 2015) confirm those relationships and reveal,
from specimens collected by the bi-national group of
researchers known as Truchas Mexicanas (Hendrickson et
al., 2003), that Mexico{\textquoteright}s share of the diversity in this lineage
is much greater. At least 10 more, still undescribed species
of native trout reside in remote, rugged and isolated corners
of the Sierra Madre Occidental extending as far south as
the high mountains between Mazatl{\'a}n and Ciudad Durango.
Truchas Mexicanas{\textquoteright} fieldwork left no doubt that most share
a need for conservation actions to help their often small
and fragmented populations persist, and some are critically
imperilled (Camarena-Rosales et al., 2006; Hendrickson et
al., 2007; Hendrickson \& Tomelleri 2019). While their formal
descriptions have been delayed for various reasons, recent
genetic validation of their distinctiveness, and clear need
for recognition of the need for conservation actions on
their behalf, led those studying them to petition the IUCN to
add them to the Red List while their descriptions are being
finalized. That petition was accepted and their assessments
were completed as part of this project.

	abstract = {<p>The Northwestern Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico is a rugged mountain range covering portions of Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa, and is drained by multiple Pacific Slope Rivers to the west and the Casas Grandes, Conchos, and Nazas to the east. The overall area is topographically, climatically and biotically diverse, ranging from endorheic basins (Casas Grandes) to mountainous areas elevations up to 3348 m, average mean temperatures from 10-20\&deg;C and precipitation from 250- 1100 mm/yr. The region is also geological complex that, combined with these other variables, provides a great diversity of both aquatic and terrestrial habitats conducive to both biotic endemicity and diversity. The overall diversity of the region has contribiited to the recent listing of this region by Conservation International as one of six new high-priority biodiversity hotspots. Our understanding of the aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity of this region, however, is poor and in urgent need of rapid investigation by collaborative communities. The combination of an incredibly rugged landscape, drug and bandit activities and indigenous peoples that have not always been welcoming to visitors has resulted in a general paucity of roads in the region, and the lack of access has limited inventory studies. Recently, however, access to the region has changed dramatically and many of the areas are now accessible enough for logging, mining, and agriculture practices, all exerting extreme pressures in some areas on the biodiversity. In addition to human-induced changes to these diverse ecosystems, impacts of invasive aquatic species are becoming more and more apparent, and the potential for severely reducing population sizes of species or their extirpation or extinction is real. While several invasive or exotic species are identified as potentially destructive to these communities, the exotic Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that is derived from hatcheries or culture facilities within the region represents one of the most critical threats to the aquatic and semi-aquatic biodiversity. The native trout of mainland Mexico represent the southern- most salmonids, and are at imminent risk of introgression and/or replacement by feral Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Our recent survey efforts have expanded the known diversity and ranges of each of several distinct forms, which we feel represent valid species. We discuss our discovery of multiple new species from the Sierra Madre Occidental and focus on a new species of trout restricted to the upper Conchos drainage, the first native species of Oncorhynchus known to occupy the Atlantic Slope in Mexico. Many of these taxa are restricted to small areas of intact habitat in headwater areas of high-elevation streams, and are at risk from a suite of human-associated perturbations, emerging diseases, and introduced species. These fishes occupy unique habitats, and represent a diverse portion of the Mexican montane ichthyofauna. The habitats on which they depend support a wide range of other aquatic organisms, most of which are grossly understudied. The discovery of the Conchos Trout derived primarily by GARP niche modeling of a subset of localities of previously sampled undescribed native Mexican trout, provides only a snapshot of the biodiversity awaiting to be discovered in this region. The rugged landscape of the Sierra Madre Occidental simply precludes routine sampling at easily accesible locations of streams and most sampling locations require time-intensive access. In an effort to rapidly assess the biodiversity of rivers of this region we employed this method to aid in predicting the most suitable and highly probable Mexican trout niches in the region. This method offered highly efficient and powerful results that not only predicted the occurrence of a previously unknown trout in the upper Rio Conchos but also provided excellent predictions of available habitats in drainages where previously unknown trout have been discovered by the Truchas Mexicanas team in the last nine years. Multiple threats exist to the biodiversity of the northern Sierra Madre Occidental, including uncontrolled introductions of exotic and invasive species, emerging diseases such as whirling disease, Myxobolus cerebralis, infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), iridioviruses and pathogenic water mold, Saprolegnia ferax, land-use practices leading to habitat degradation via overgrazing, logging, deforestation and road construction, increasing human population growth, over-fishing or overharvesting of aquatic resources and global climate cliange reducing surface and ground water in the area and creating environments more conducive to the spread of invasive species, congregated and dense human populations, and emerging diseases. Immediate actions need to be developed to aid in public education as to the threats to these ecosystems, protection of areas, assessment of diversity, and sustainable development throughout the region that incorporates a likely highly successful ecotourism system for the region.</p>
