About This Species

The Humpback Chub (Gila cypha) is an endangered fish species native to the Colorado River and its tributaries, primarily found in the Grand Canyon and upper reaches of the Colorado River Basin. Recognizable by its distinctive, hump-shaped dorsal profile, the humpback chub historically thrived in the swift, turbulent waters of the Colorado River and its deep, fast-moving tributaries. However, the species has been severely impacted by habitat alterations caused by dam construction, water diversion, and the introduction of non-native fish species, which have outcompeted or preyed upon them. Furthermore, changes in water temperature, flow patterns, and sedimentation due to human activities have disrupted the chub’s spawning and feeding habitats. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat restoration, improving water flow management, and controlling invasive species. Successful breeding and stocking programs, along with efforts to restore the natural flow of the Colorado River, are helping to stabilize the population. Ongoing monitoring and protection are vital to ensuring the species' survival and long-term recovery.

The Impact

"For more than 50 years, American Rivers has worked to safeguard the 3.5 million miles of rivers and streams essential to our nation’s clean drinking water, extraordinary wildlife, and the strength of our communities.

Today, our rivers face unprecedented threats from pollution, crumbling infrastructure, and the brutal effects of a changing climate. All of us are impacted. Freshwater species are going extinct twice as fast as wildlife on land or in the ocean — and our health and the safety of our communities hang in the balance.

We can still protect our vital lifelines. Life Depends on Rivers® — and rivers depend on us."
