The annual fall count of an extremely rare fish species that lives in a single Mojave Desert cavern found the highest number in 19 years, the National Park Service said.

Scientists counted 263 Devils Hole pupfish last month, the highest autumn count since September 2003, the agency said in a statement.

Devils Hole is a deep water-filled cavern in a detached unit of Death Valley National Park located in Nye County, Nevada.

The pupfish live in the upper 80 feet (24.4 meters) of the water column and on a shallow, sun-lit shelf at the cavern's mouth where they forage and spawn.

The count is conducted by scuba divers and observers on the surface who tally the fish on the shelf.
