This memo documents the rationale behind the Determination Key for the endangered peppered chub (Macrhybopsis tetranema) within the Arlington, Texas Ecological Services’ area of responsibility.

This key is intended to be delivered through the USFWS’ Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) web application.
