A species of tiny fish that once flourished in the U.S. South's Pearl River is being reintroduced there after disappearing 50 years ago.
“There’s more species here than most other places, and a lot of the species that we find here are what we call sensitive species. They are species that are not very tolerant of things like pollution, high disturbance and things of that nature.”
The pearl darter is a bottom-dwelling fish that measures about 2.5 inches long. It is named for the iridescent coloring around its gills, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which listed it as a threatened species in 2017.
