Information was compiled from: 1) personal a~d public sources identified <br />by the study team; 2) looal, state and federal agencies; 3) ~ field visit to the USFWS- <br />Dexter National Fish Hatchery; 4) visits and interviews with Ptopagation specialists from <br />the USFWS. the CDOW, and the State of Utah; and 5) telephone interviews with key <br />contacts identified by the TAC and members of the Consult~nt Team. <br /> <br />The information and data collected from these sources wer, asse~bled into five work <br />products designed to document and provide ease of access io the available Information. <br />These work products Include: <br /> <br />1) an alphabetized list and annotated bibliography of pef;tinent literature; <br />2) a catalogued library of pertinent literature; . <br />3) a file of personal communications with key fish culturi~ts; <br />4) a computerized data retrieval system with key culture data and subject Issues; and. <br />5) a study report which present.s pertinent information. . <br /> <br />BIOLOGICAL DESIGN ANO CULTURE TI;CHNIOUES <br /> <br />ThIs study task evaluated factors to be used as specific de,sign criteria for a fisheries <br />facility capable of providing for the propagation, research, refugia and broodstock facilities <br />. for the four endangered fish species. The hatchery design criterIa were developed <br />through the following: i <br /> <br />1) agency and study team 1*8)881 loa", consultation; . )(j <br />2) interpretation and analysis of available literature and 'i~formation; , 'V <br />3) . development of a hatchery sImulation model to pre~lct preliminary siting and <br />design criteria. The model uses hatchery productlo~ goals, water supply and <br />quality parameters to produce output information of )'vater flow needs, required <br />number of rearing ponds. feed volumes. and other f~clllty requirements to meet <br />specific production goals; , <br /> <br />~7- <br />
