Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for the Grotto Sculpin 
Abstract: We will finalize the listing determination for the grotto sculpin (Cottus spp.) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. The sculpin, a cave-dwelling fish, is restricted to two karst areas (limestone regions characterized by sink holes, abrupt ridges, caves, and underground streams), the Central Perryville Karst and Mystery-Rimstone Karst, in Perry County, southeast Missouri. The current overall range of the grotto sculpin has been estimated to encompass approximately 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). Final critical habitat is under 1018-AZ41.
