The Owens tui chub (Siphateles bicolor snyderi) was described in 1973 as a subspecies of

Pleistocene Epoch.[1][2][3]

Owens tui chub were historically common and occupied all valley-floor

Hot Creek Fish Hatchery in Mammoth Lakes, California;[4] and artificial ponds at the White Mountain Research Center and at Mule Spring in Inyo County.[5]

Typical habitat of the Owens tui chub

Owens tui chubs prefer pool habitats with low current velocities and dense aquatic vegetation that provide adequate cover and habitat for insect food items.

chironomid larvae and algae in spring, chironomid larvae in summer, hydroptilid caddisflies in fall, and chironomid larvae in winter.[7][8][9] Spawning occurs from late winter to early summer at spring habitats,[8] with spawning likely triggered by day length. In riverine and lacustrine or lake-like habitats where water temperatures fluctuate seasonally, the Owens tui chub spawns in spring and early summer, with spawning triggered by warming water temperatures.[7] Females may produce more than 10,000 eggs.[10] Tui chubs may reach sexual maturity at 2 years,[7] and may live more than 30 years.[1][11]
