Mohave tui chub seem best adapted to standing, or slow-moving, freshwater habitats. This assumption stems from limited observations made between the 1930’s and the late 60’s along the Mojave River when the Mohave tui chub could still be found in their native habitat. That said, if the chub were re-released back into the Mojave River, fishery biologists today would expect them to settle into the marshy, backwater habitats (sloughs) that support water plants and shore-side grasses along the river’s banks, if ponds or lakes could not be found.
