Description: A suite of native fishes in the U.S. (buffalofishes, gars, etc.) have recently benefited through increases in awareness, appreciation, and scientific knowledge. Emergent fisheries render them de facto sport fishes, despite having legal status as “nongame”. This symposium will highlight positive social and conservation developments of these important native fishes.
