<br />OOJ932 <br /> <br />---------- APPENDIX C: FY-2002 - 2003 PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS <br /> <br />V. RESEARCH, MONITORING. AND DATA MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />15. RMD/89--: Larval Fishes Identification (BR, $41,400) <br /> <br />Contract issued to the Larval Fish Laboratory in Fort Collins, Colorado, to identify larval <br />fishes collected as part of the Interagency Standardized Monitoring Program and conduct <br />ongoing curation of small fish from preserved Program collections. Total out year cost: <br />-$43,400/year. <br /> <br />16. RMD/85--: Database Management (FWS, $53,000) <br /> <br />Recovering and delisting the endangered Colorado River fishes will require a thorough <br />understanding of the interrelationships of the fishes and their environments. Those <br />relationships can be understood through extensive analyses of data. Data are maintained <br />in computerized form, to facilitate analyses. Specific tasks include: maintaining <br />database; summarizing data; providing annual listing of files; and providing annual <br />listing of all PIT-tagged fish. Total out year cost: $-55,700/year. <br /> <br />22c. RMD/85--: Standardized Monitoring Program (UDWR, $24,300) <br /> <br />Continued collection of standardized monitoring trend data on young-of-the-year <br />Colorado pikeminnow in six reaches of the Green and Colorado rivers. Data also may be <br />used to relate to population estimates of adult Colorado pikeminnow in the middle and <br />lower Green River. Total out year cost: $27,300. <br /> <br />22f RMD/Ol03: ISMP Assessment of Endangered Fish Production in Relation to Flaming <br />Gorge Operation (LFL, $87,000) <br /> <br />The goal of this project is to detect timing of reproduction by razorback sucker and <br />Colorado pikemirmow, and determine patterns of presence oflarvae and their relative <br />abundance downstream of potential spawning sites in the middle Green River system. A <br />second goal is to monitor temperature regimes of the Green and Yampa rivers in order to <br />comply with Flaming Gorge flow recommendations. Total out year cost: $90,000. <br /> <br />22i. RMD/0002: Abundance Estimates for Colorado Pikeminnow in the Middle Green <br />RiverNampa River System (LFL, $150,000) <br /> <br />This 3-year study is designed to provide abundance and survival estimates for sub-adult <br />and adult Colorado pikeminnow for each of the White, Yampa, and Green River <br />populations. An overall estimate also will be calculated. Total out year cost: $0 <br /> <br />C-l3 <br />
