Overutilization for Commercial, Recreational, Scientific, or Educational Purposes. Collection Fishermen rarely target sucker species; however, both Gray Redhorse and Blue Sucker may unintentionally be collected by fishermen targeting catfish and other sport fish. Although prohibited to collect in New Mexico, the Rio Grande River Cooter may be the target of illegal collection. Collection of Texas Hornshell, Blue Sucker, Gray Redhorse, and Rio Grande River Cooter is currently regulated by NMDGF. Other Natural or Manmade Factors Affecting its Continued Existence Climate Change
Overutilization for Commercial, Recreational, Scientific, or Educational Purposes. There is no available information indicating that the Crescent Dunes aegialian scarab, Crescent Dunes serican scarab, large aegialian scarab, or Xxxxxxxx’x dune scarab is collected for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes. Xxxx et al. (1981, p. 241) note that invertebrates generally are not imperiled by overcollection, and that these particular beetle species are not showy and thus less likely to be collected. We conclude that overutilization is not a threat to the Crescent Dunes aegialian scarab, Crescent Dunes serican scarab, large aegialian scarab, or Xxxxxxxx’x dune scarab now or in the future.

Overutilization for Commercial, Recreational, Scientific, or Educational Purposes. Collection of relict leopard frogs is currently limited to controlled, low-level sampling for scientific purposes as well as collection for use in population restoration efforts. The extent to which illegal collection occurs is unknown. The State of Nevada regulates the collection of relict leopard frog to those with a scientific collecting permit. Nevada regulations prohibit the personal collection or possession of relict leopard frog for hobby possession of amphibians, as well as the commercial collection or possession of relict leopard frog for the amphibian and reptile pet trade. Because the primary goal of this Agreement is to protect, enhance, and expand suitable habitat for the relict leopard frog and to establish additional secure populations within its historic range, this threat factor will not apply to lands that are enrolled under this Agreement.
