The Bureau of Reclamation and its partners in the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program works to preserve endangered species in the Lower Colorado River Basin, including #RazorbackSuckers. After each spawning season, Reclamation biologists collect several thousand razorback larvae by hand.
The larvae spend two to three years at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery until they are large enough to return to the river. To learn more about the LCR MSCP, visit https://www.lcrmscp.gov. #ESA50
