Abstract

The 2015 Bonneville Basin Area Report will provide an overview of activities and accomplishments for native aquatic species in the Bonneville Basin. This will include an update on June sucker, Chasmistes liorus, least chub, Iotichthys phlegethontis, northern leatherside, Lepidomeda copei, and southern leatherside, Lepidomeda aliciae. Activities for Bonneville cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii utah, will highlight reintroduction into tributaries of the Bear River. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) biologists and Utah State University (USU) are working to address limiting factors in the Weber River for a potentially unique species of bluehead sucker, Catostomus discobolus, in the Weber and Bear River drainages. These will also primarily be in partnership with Bonneville cutthroat restoration and reintroduction.
