A new nursery pond in Moab seeks to help a
MOAB — Utah wildlife biologists point to roundtail chub, a species endemic to the Colorado River Basin, as a successful example of how projects can protect declining animal species.
The division opened a new roundtail chub nursery pond at Old City Park Pond in Moab. Biologists netted 31 fish from the nearby Dolores River and stocked them in the pond to begin operations last week. It's the state's second fishery of this kind, joining Cottonwood Pond in Emery County which also serves as a roundtail chub nursery pond.
"This pond was an ideal location for the nursery, due to its location and water conditions, which should contribute to the successful growth and reproduction of these fish," Arnold said in a statement. "It was a great collaboration with Moab city, and we are so grateful for their support of native fish conservation."
