of grow-out ponds at Mumma and 2.6 acres of hatchery ponds at Wahweap for bonytail.
Currently, there are 35 acres of grow-out ponds at Mumma and 3.2 acres of hatchery ponds at
Wahweap for bonytail production. Colorado pikeminnow will be intensively cultured in tanks at
the Grand Valley and Mumma facilities. The production of razorback sucker to meet the
numbers in the State of Utah stocking plan require 5.0 acres of hatchery ponds and 10.4 acres of
leased grow-out ponds; 10.8 acres of hatchery ponds and 18 acres of grow-out ponds are
available for use by the Ouray facility. The production of razorback sucker to-meet the numbers
in the State of Colorado stocking plan require 18.1 acres of leased grow-out ponds; 98 acres of
grow-out ponds are available for use by the Grand Valley facility. The annual cost to-PIT-tag
40,280 bonytail, 2,680 Colorado pikeminnow, and 34,940 razorback sucker will be
approximately $300,000.
