The Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the Foskett speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus ssp.), a fish native to Oregon, from the Endangered Species List, it said in a final rule. Threats to the species have been "eliminated or reduced to the point where it no longer meets the definition of an endangered species or a threatened species," FWS said. The delisting takes effect Oct. 15.
