Anglers fishing on the Colorado, Green, and San Juan Rivers may know that roundtail chub are only found in those waterways, but these native fish are in need of conservation.
That's why the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has partnered with Moab to create a nursery pond to increase their population.
“The purpose of this nursery is to grow and then restock roundtail chub back into the river systems to help increase their populations throughout the Colorado River Basin,” said DWR Native Aquatics Biologist Tyler Arnold. Dams and diversions led to their decline, as well as climate change and invasive predator fish, which biologists have now worked to remove.Because of these ongoing conservation efforts, roundtail chubs were recently reclassified as a sport fish last year.
