Meet the Borax Lake Chub, a fish isolated thousands of years ago and found only in one 10-acre lake in southeastern Oregon. What makes this desert fish amazing is its ability to withstand the high levels of arsenic found in its watery home. Get to know this fish and Borax Lake, its conservation history, and the unanswered questions that still surround it. Our guest is Fred Monzyk with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Native Fish Program. 🐟 This episode airs today - catch a new episodes of "Fish of the Week!" every Monday at our FWS website or wherever you get your podcasts.
