<br />49 <br /> <br />for population status. The relationships between operations from Glen Canyon Dam, and the <br />coarse-sediment that forms the spawning substrate and the near shoreline habitat used by young <br />developing trout in the Glen Canyon portion of the Colorado River ecosystem resources are a <br />management concern. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Summary Project Description: Primary method uses electro fishing as the sampling method <br />over multiple nights, which occurs tri-annually. Electrofishing equipment and trained operators <br />are contracted personnel through the GCMRC logistical contract. As ofFYOI this monitoring <br />project has used a random stratified sampling approach based on shoreline habitat characteristics <br />for site selection. Nine sites are consistently sampled and linked to past monitoring efforts <br />conducted since 1990. The other remaining 27 sites are randomly selected. Direct and derived <br />metrics for assessing status and trends are to be reported including CPE, stock assessment, PSD <br />and condition factor of fish. <br /> <br />MO's and RIN's ADDRESSED: Goal 4 and MO 4.1; CMIN's 4.1.1,4.1.2,4.1.3,4.1.4,4.1.5, <br />4.1.7. <br /> <br />!e <br /> <br />Status/Schedule: Renewal for monitoring status and trends of Lees Ferry Trout are expected to <br />continue in FY06. This project is one of the core monitoring projects identified in the <br />provisional core monitoring plan and will undergo review in FY06. An RFP would be released <br />for subsequent funding years. <br /> <br />Implications of Experimental vs. Non-Experimental Budget: Outside Science/labor: <br />Allocation is unchanged. Logistics: logistics is reduced by $2,000 in both scenarios. <br />Training/travel related costs: reduced to zero. Supplies/operations: reduced to zero with <br />equipment costs absorbed by downstream fish monitoring. GCMRC salaries: 50% of fish <br />technician salary and 14% of terrestrial biologist time for agreement coordination. <br /> <br />Expected Products/Deliverables: <br /> <br />.
