Conservation: Gobiesox juniperoserrai is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (CR) critically endangered (2018). Gobiesox juniperoserrai is a microendemic desert species restricted to Pozas del Vado creek in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The species is severely threatened by over extraction of water resources and droughts caused by climate change. No specimens have been found since 1986, when the three specimens of the type series were collected, despite extensive search efforts from 2009 to 2014 (Schmitter-Soto, 2019; Ruiz‑Campos et al., 2014:1243).
