<br />000185 <br /> <br />The Recovery Program should use existing programs, as much as possible, to monitor <br />response by razorback sucker and bonytail at the population level. Continued release of <br />hatchery fish and restoration of floodplains should lead to successful reproduction and <br />recruitment that should be detected by on-going sampling programs. Various sizes of <br />razorback sucker and bonytail should be captured during sampling for population <br />estimates with electro fishing for Colorado pikeminnow and trammel nets and hoop nets <br />for humpback chub. This sampling is being conducted through most of the Green River <br />Subbasin, and should be sufficient for detecting increased numbers of razorback sucker <br />and bonytail. The Recovery Program may choose to implement in the future a more <br />detailed sampling program for population estimates to document self-sustainability, and <br />monitoring for downlisting and deli sting will be implemented after self-sustained <br />populations are established. <br /> <br />2003 Report Recommendations, <br />
