The state of California is holding high-level talks over the potential listing of coho salmon as an endangered species but tribes haven't been invited, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The negotiations have included environmentalists, farmers and ranchers. The Yurok Tribe and the Hoopa Valley Tribe learned about them through a reporter.

"That surprised us all, that there was a meeting going on," Susan Masten, the Yurok chairwoman, told The Times.

The fish would be listed under the state's Endangered Species Act.
