Texas Candidate Species2 Scientific Name largetooth sawfish Pristis pristis Species of Concern3 Scientific Name Fish dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus largetooth sawfish Pristis pristis night shark Carcharhinus signatus saltmarsh topminnow Fundulus jenkinsi sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus speckled hind Epinephelus drummondhayi Warsaw grouper Epinephelus nigritus Invertebrates ivory tree coral Oculina varicosa 2 The Candidate Species List has been renamed the Species of Concern List. The term candidate species is limited to species that are the subject of a petition to list and for which NOAA Fisheries Service has determined that listing may be warranted (69 FR 19975).
3 Species of Concern are not protected under the Endangered Species Act, but concerns about their status indicate that they may warrant listing in the future. Federal agencies and the public are encouraged to consider these species during project planning so that future listings may be avoided.
