Moving quickly, biologists took some pupfish from a backup population that had been established in captivity over a decade ago and released them into Devil's Hole.
Those fish survived, babies started appearing, and biologists later added in some additional captive-bred fish.
This spring, an official count found 77 devil's hole pupfish swimming around their rocky fishbowl in the desert.

Scientists gathered at the White House 26 years ago with President Bill Clinton to mark what was basically the completion of efforts to sequence all human genes.
Venter was celebrated at the event for his rival sequencing effort that gave the government-funded Human Genome Project a run for its money.
His company, Celera Genomics, pioneered new, faster approaches.
He became the first to sequence and publish his own personal genome, and his research team advanced the field of synthetic biology by creating a bacterial cell controlled by lab-synthesized DNA.
The J. Craig Venter Institute, which he founded, said he died after unexpected side effects from a cancer treatment.
