Study Goals, Oblectives. and End Products: <br /> <br />Study Goal: <br /> <br />To prepare a management action plan for potential <br />reintroduction or augmentation of Colorado squawfish and <br />razorback sucker in the Colorado River from Rifle to palisade <br />with respect to assessment of habitat suitability, genetic <br />resources, non-native fishes, flow recommendations, and <br />monitoring needs. <br /> <br />Oblectives: <br /> <br />1) To quantify and assess habitat availability for all life <br />stages of Colorado squawfish and razorback sucker in <br />historic, unoccupied range above Palisade, Colorado, <br /> <br />2) To assess instream flow needs, control of non-native fish <br />impacts, feasibility and risks of genetic stock <br />management using hatchery-raised fish or natural <br /> <br />1 <br />
