<br />GLEN CANYON DAM ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br /> <br />Project 01 <br /> <br />I. Title: Assess Humpback Chub Currently at Willow Beach NFH as Potential <br />Broodstock. <br /> <br />II. Relationship To Programs: This section provides insight into the relationship between <br />the proposed action and the Adaptive Management Program goals and objectives, and the <br />Biological Opinion RP As on Glen Canyon Dam operations. <br /> <br />! <br />Adaptivc Management Program: The goals and management objectives ofthe Adaptive <br />Management Program that apply are: <br /> <br />Goal 2. Maintain or attain viable populations of existing native fish, remove jeopardy for <br />humpback chub and razorback sucker, and prevent adverse modification to their critical habitat. <br /> <br />Management Objective 2.1: Maintain or attain humpback chub abundance and year-class <br />strength in the LCR and other aggregations at appropriate levels for viable populations and <br />to remove jeopardy. (Sequence order I, 1.5 and 2) <br /> <br />Management Objective 2.2: Sustain or establish viable HBC spawning aggregations outside <br />the LCR in the Colorado River ecosystem below Glen Canyon Dam to remove jeopardy. <br />(Sequence order 2, 2.5, and 3) <br /> <br />Biological Opinion: Elements of the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative that apply are <br />as follows. Successful completion of the RPA is necessary to remove jeopardy to the humpback <br />chub from the proposed action (operation of Glen Canyon Dam under a Modified Low <br />Fluctuating Flow alternative described in the Final EIS and ROD). <br /> <br />Element 2: Establish a second spawning aggregation of humpback chub downstream of Glen <br />Canyon Dam. <br /> <br />lII.Study Background/Rationale and Hypotheses: <br /> <br />IV. Study Goals, Objectives, End Product: <br /> <br />Studv Goal <br /> <br />Develop a brood stock of humpback chub from the Little Colorado River population. <br /> <br />Studv Obiectives (Perfonnance Measures) <br /> <br />Detennine if humpback chub currently on station at Willow Beach NFH would be suitable as a <br />potential broodstock. <br /> <br />Created on 5/6/20035:41 PM <br />
