• Endangered fish hatchery construction: Current facilities are inadequate to meet <br />anticipated needs. Additional hatchery and research facilities are required to prevent <br />endangered fish from becoming extinct, maintain unique genetic resources, produce <br />fish for appropriate stocking and reintroduction efforts and to provide a laboratory <br />for endangered fish research. <br />Several actions are scheduled for FY 1995. A hatchery building and up to 18 endan- <br />gered fish ponds will be completed at the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge in Utah. <br />Final hatchery design specifications will be completed for the site at Craig, Colo. <br />Construction will start at Wahweap warmwater ponds in Utah. <br />Funding is for FY 1996 needed to continue construction at Ouray and Wahweap <br />and to initiate construction at Craig. <br />A fish ladder around the Redlands Diversion Dam on the Gunnison <br />River would allow endangered fish to access 50 miles of their histori- <br />cal habitat. <br />Biologists in Utah hold a 38 -inch long Colorado squawfish captured <br />during a research study. After weighing and measuring the fish, the <br />researchers returned it to the river unharmed. <br />5 <br />
