Ameiurus platycephalus

 * ... that in South Carolina, the flat bullhead is threatened by pollution and sedimentation, as well as by the introduction of non-native catfish? Source: " It is negatively affected by factors such as sedimentation, hydrologic modification, impoundments, nonpoint source pollution and development. Additionally, it is threatened by the introduction of nonnative ictarlurids like the Flathead Catfish and the Blue Catfish"

 * Symbol voting keep.svg DYKcheck checks out, Earwig checks out, neutrality and sourcing looks good. I had trouble accessing the Google books link, but I'll take it on faith. It would be good to have a source other than Wikipedia for the threatening species having the scientific names given in "flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) and blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus)", as it seems plausible that multiple species might share such common names. It's odd that the IUCN does not specify, they should. Since non-native catfish have to be introduced, I suggest this modified hook. HLHJ (talk) 02:38, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
