All indications show that California’s native fish are in crisis:
• If present trends continue, 65% of native salmon, steelhead, and trout species will be extinct within 100 years.
• Sixty-five percent of the species headed towards extinction are found only in California.
• Of the state’s 22 anadromous fish species (which spawn in freshwater and live most of their adult lives in the ocean), 59% are in danger of extinction.
• Of the state’s nine living native inland fish, 78% are in danger of extinction.
