Means of Introduction: Unknown; probable bait bucket release. It was first collected from the Cimarron in Oklahoma in 1976 (Cross et al. 1983).
Status: Established in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Impact of Introduction: Notropis bairdi has become common in the Cimarron River and is apparently displacing the native Arkansas River shiner Notropis girardi which is proposed for listing as an endangered species (Cross et al. 1983; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1997).
