Other Facilities in the Complex
In 1996 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Colorado River Indian Tribes to renovate and dedicate a former commercial aquaculture facility. The new facility was named Achii Hanyo Native Fish Rearing Facility with the purpose of raising endangered Razorback sucker and Bonytail chub fish species in production ponds. Achii Hanyo Native Fish Rearing Facility has been operational since 1998 and is a satellite station of Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery. This facility has both earthen production ponds and inside tanks for rearing Razorback suckers and bonytail chubs.
