Summary[edit] Description: At up to two and a half feet in length, Eastern hellbenders can be an impressive sight. These aquatic salamanders are found in Appalachian streams, and have declined to the point that they’ve been considered for addition to the federal endangered species list. Despite their size, they’re harmless to people, and in fact help by serving as indicator species – the health of hellbender populations is an indicator of stream health. Because of their conservation importance, biologists often keep tabs on hellbenders. Biologists from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, N.C. Division of Water Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, North Carolina Zoo, Appalachian State University, and Virginia Zoo recently surveyed hellbenders in a handful of mountain streams. Once the biologists captured a hellbender, they measured and weighed it; determined its sex; swabbed its skin to test for chytrid fungus which is responsible for massive, widespread amphibians deaths; tagged it with a Passive Integrated Transponder, or PIT, tag, providing the animal with a unique identifier - just like micro-chipping your pet; and finally took a small clip of tail tissue to track genetics.

Summary[edit] Description: The Eastern Hellbender Juvenile Habitat Restoration project is funded through the State Wildlife Grant Program to assess survival in juveniles receiving an enriched captive environment and enriched juvenile habitat in the Blue River, IN. This research project is with the Indiana DNR and the Purdue Aquaculture Research Lab at Purdue University. In addition, 167 juvenile hellbenders will continue to be reared at the Purdue aquaculture facility and be released in 2017 as part of the reintroduction program. The overarching goals of this research are to assess the historical eastern hellbender habitats for potential reintroductions and reintroduce captive reared juveniles into a former portion of their native range. The specific goals of the project include conducting eDNA screening, habitat suitability assessments, and estimating post-release survival using radio-telemetry. Ultimately, the results of this research could influence management decisions to repatriate eastern hellbenders throughout portions of its former range within Indiana and prevent extirpation.
