Salado Salamander Monitoring Final Report 2015
The Texas Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (TXFWCO) began systematic monitoring at the Salado Spring Complex and the Robertson springs in Bell County under federal permit TE676811-9 and state permit SPR-0111-003 on March 24, 2015. Systematic surveys were conducted in March, June, September, and December of 2015. In addition to systematic surveys, opportunistic surveys were conducted to increase documentation of salamanders within the system. The TXFWCO conducted 17 surveys of the springs over the course of 2015 (12 systematic and five opportunistic events) to monitor the salamander population, resulting in the capture of seven Salado salamanders. Six of the seven salamanders were juveniles ranging in length from 14-17 mm. One adult salamander was collected at the Robertson springs, measuring 50 mm in length.
