The Pahranagat roundtail chub (Gila jordani), or White River chub, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the daces, chubs, Eurasian minnows and related species.[2] This fish is endemic to the outflows of thermal springs in the Pahranagat Valley , as well as the Pahranagat River itself, although it is now restricted, in the wild, to a single spring within its historic native range.[1]
