HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - A group of experts has identified 17 species of fish native to Kansas that could be considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act.
In a report to be published next month in the "Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science," the nine biologists, water quality experts and others also listed 28 more species that could be elevated from their current risk categories in Kansas.
However, the report will have little immediate effect because the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks may not be able to act on it for five years.
