Back in April, I questioned whether Longfin Smelt, a state-listed endangered fish, are going extinct in the Bay Delta1. The June surveys are in. The Bay Midwater Trawl, the Bay Otter Trawl, the Townet, and the 20-mm Survey show Longfin are at record lows with only a few caught in the Bay2. One only has to compare 20-mm Survey results for June over the past three years to see the trend. Going, going, gone.
