We aevelo~ed six <br />scopes of work that will be submitted as new projects for the coming year. <br />Each of the studies will be submitted by the agency that will be primarily <br />responsible for the research; however, each scope of work is clearly <br />identified as being part of the Aspinall Unit Study. We recognized that <br />funding might not be sufficient to begin all the studies this year so the <br />group ranked them in priority order. The new scopes of work, their priority <br />ranking, and the agency that will submit the proposal are: <br /> <br />Title <br /> <br />Agency <br /> <br />1, Ichthyofaunal survey (with emphasis on distribution and <br />abundance of rare and endangered fish) in the Gunnison River <br />from Delta, Colorado to the Redlands Diversion. <br /> <br />~/...* 3, <br />r <br />'\0 )..... 4, <br /> <br />FWS <br /> <br />2, <br /> <br />Quantification of available habitat in the Gunnison River in <br />relation to test flows released from the Aspinall Unit. <br /> <br />FWS <br /> <br />Effect of flow on reproductive success of Colorado squawfish <br />(oriented primarily at drift of larvae) <br /> <br />UDWR <br /> <br />Availability of quality nursery habitat for Colorado squawfish <br />in the Colorado River. <br /> <br />UDWR <br /> <br />5, <br /> <br />Flow effects on humpback chub populations in Westwater and <br />Black Rocks canyons. <br /> <br />UDWR <br /> <br />6, <br /> <br />Quantification of available habitat in the Colorado River in <br />relation to test flows released from the Aspinall Unit. <br /> <br />FWS <br /> <br />1. In addition, our office has submitted a proposal for overall planning and <br />coordination of the Aspinall studies. The additional money will allow us to <br />participate in the studies (in a limited way) that we receive no funding for, <br />
