"Viewed in isolation, the Juab Valley watershed could be developed as a conservation refuge for ten of the 13 species of fish native to the larger Utah Lake drainage. As is, he said, the watershed would support ten varieties. "It is already supporting some of the native fish. In fact, Mona Reservoir and Salt Creek already have eight out of the 13 fish. Because of the small size of Mona Reservoir, it will be much less expensive to mimic the ecological conditions there than to try to bring the Utah Lake to standard. "The estimated cost just to implement a significant e lake to imitate a natural lake and provide a good environment for fish, said Dobrowolski.
