World - / Aug 21, 2026 - In 1990, Utah used the world's largest rotenone treatment on Strawberry Reservoir - In an ambitious effort to rejuvenate the ecosystem, Utah wildlife officials undertook the removal of nearly all fish from Strawberry Reservoir in 1990. This strategic chemical operation was designed to halt the deterioration of the lake's environment.
