NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Cuatro Cienegas Log of DAT #:1 Engineer: Sean Fox Date: July 23, 2001 MS configuration 6:39 - 9:48 Early morning ambi - at Hotel El Nogalito crickets roosters (good @7:07, 7:32) NG 10:24 ambi at visitor's center - speaking in spanish - CB radio, cars in bg 12:25 JB - so what is the difference btwn native fish and endemic fish? 12:30 JM - endemic is a sub-category of native, which means that you don't find them anywhere else in the world¿12:41 endemic is a sub-category of native, and endemic species are native species, they are only found at a given site. So for instance, the endemic species of CC are only found here at CC which is why they are so important for conservation. Bc if we don't send them here then they are lost to the world. In contrast, native species naturally exist somewhere but they can often occur in many different sites or habitats. 13:10 JB - and whether the endemics are introduced and are a foreign species - JM - and endemic species is never introduced - so endemic species are always native species that only exist in that locality. And exotic species is an introduced species that comes from somewhere else that was introduced - either - usually by humans into a site, so they don't naturally occur and that is why we are concerned about them bc they don't interact with the native species and can potentially compete with them, or prey on them and drive native species or endemic species to extinction. 13;45 and if you drive an endemic species to extinction then you have lost it forever bc it doesn't exist anywhere else on the planet. 13:53 JB these are 2 of the exotic species here JM - those are 2 of the common exotic species, there are a few others, but the one fish you are looking at - heme cromis - is native to Africa. It has been in the basin now for 5 or 6 yrs, actually probably a little longer, and we are seeing it spread in the basin which is why we are particularly concerned about that exotic species. JB - So some how this species is getting from one poza to another? 14:23 JM - yes, exactly. JB - do we know how? JM - we don't know how. There is some - we have two hypotheses. One is that someone actually put them in different pozas. The fish, it is a beautiful fish, it is very valuable in the aquarium trade, and so some people thought that someone thought they could grow them in their backyard, and then put them in a poza here and put them in a couple of different places. Alternatively, [CB in bg - tape no good] they can be transported in underground water connections, and we just don' know how the diff pozas are connected underground. So it remains a mystery. 14:56 14:57 JB - so somebody might have though I will use these as my fish farm and raise these expensive little aquarium fish for the doctor's office JM - 15:07 exactly. Yeah JB - Arturo, ready to show us around? 15:18 Art - yeah - talki... (Notes truncated)
