- What to Know About the Comeback of the June Sucker - Utah Lake
Dealing with a sucker population of less than 500 adults, the JSRIP began implementing recovery actions through an adaptive management approach The approach focused on improving the Utah Lake ecosystem, not just increasing June sucker numbers
- Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reports increased populations in . . .
Now, however, through conservation efforts, the June Sucker population has recovered, to numbers “estimated today to be in the tens of thousands, probably somewhere between 30 and 50,000 fish,” according to Lawrence

As a result, there is little to no natural “recruitment” of new adults to the June sucker population This “recruitment bottleneck” is one of the primary reasons that June sucker are still listed as threatened

In the spring of 2009, six months following the restoration, adult June sucker were documented spawning in Hobble Creek for the first time and later biologists were able to identify young June sucker that survived an entire year in the wetlands of the restoration project

The Mitigation Commission and several other agencies and groups committed to work cooperatively to develop a Recovery Implementation Program for June sucker A final environmental assessment on agency participation in the June sucker recovery implementation program has been published
- June sucker has moved from Endangered to Threatened
Since then, its wild population has increased significantly, with over 3,500 hundred fish recorded spawning annually in recent years This success is due to the strong partnership and recovery efforts established under the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program in 2001
- Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reports increased populations in . . .
The June Sucker population was down to only a few hundred individuals a few decades ago, but the population has recovered to an estimated 30-50,000

One of the largest success stories has been the augmentation to the wild population by hatchery-reared fish This has allowed the population found in Utah Lake to go from <1,000 estimated individuals in 1997 to an estimated 30,000–50,000 in 2021
