I~ <br />231. Prepare habitat management plans. <br />2311. Determine improvement features necessary. <br />2312. Determine sites for improvement features. <br />2313. Determine techniques for improvement features. <br />232. Implement habitat management plan recommendations: <br />3. Acquire, propagate, and maintain captive, reserve gene pools. <br />It is necessary to keep and maintain a captive, reserve gene pool in <br />case scene unfortunate accident should extirpate the wild populations. <br />31. Select and obtain stock. <br />Stock may be acquired from existing hatchery .sources or from <br />wild stocks. <br />32. Develop propagation techniques. <br />The objective of this effort is genetic protection, not large- <br />scale hatchery production. However, excess offspring could be <br />returned to the wild. Genetic variability of captive stock will <br />be maintained by annual additions of wild fish. <br />33. Select holding sites. <br />Several hatcheries have been recommended besides the Willow Beach <br />National Fish Hatchery including the Hotchkiss National Fish <br />Hatchery and Chino Fish and Wildlife Base (holding ponds). <br />34. Operate and maintain facilities. <br />Management of the refugia will be a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br />responsibility and/or the state agencies. <br />4. Determine when non-endangered status is reached. <br />41. Review recovery effort. <br />42. Recnd delisting or change in classification if warranted. <br />If the primary recovery plan goal has been met, it will be recommend- <br />ed to the Secretary of the Interior that the Colorado squawfish be <br />delisted to anon-endangered status. <br />22 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />i~ <br /> <br /> <br />~I <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />t <br /> <br /> <br />
