San Pedro Mezquital River


The San Pedro Mezquital River is a river of Mexico.

Fish

A few fish species are native to the San Pedro Mezquital River. Among these are the two surviving Characodon splitfin species, which are both highly threatened. The extinct Durango shiner was native to the Rio Tunal, which forms the headwaters of the San Pedro Mezquital, a Pacific slope river rising near Durango City, Durango, Mexico. It was taken there only in 1951 and 1961.
