Description: Sacramento splittail is not a listed species. The Sacramento splittail’s range centers on the San Francisco Estuary. Spawning occurs in flooded vegetation, including in the Yolo Bypass, with older fish spawning first. Peak reproduction occurs in March and April, though splittail are fractional spawners, which release their eggs more than once through a spawning season, so the process may take months.

Description: The Sacramento splittail is a hardy minnow native to the upper San Francisco Estuary and the Central Valley in California. It once swam in lakes and rivers throughout the Central Valley and in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, but massive water diversions and alteration of important spawning and rearing habitat have driven this formerly common species to near extinction. Remnant populations of splittail in the Delta require adequate freshwater outflow and periodic floodplain inundation. (USFWS). Date: 25 February 2010, 01:46. Source: Sacramento Splittail.
