<br />oon56D <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />IN 9.4 Assess biotic interactions between native and non-native fishes, particularly <br />those that occur in nearshore rearing habitats affected by dam operations <br />(RPM l.C.iv). <br /> <br />A.4 - Native /Non-N~tive FishInteractions <br /> <br />MO 10: Minimize, to the extent possible, competitive and predatory interactions between native <br />and non-native fishes. <br /> <br />IN 10.1 Define areas and conditions of existing and potential interactions <br /> <br />IN 10.2 Determine key attributes associated with competitive and predatory <br />interactions <br /> <br />IN 10.3 Determine methods for minimizing competitive and predatory interactions <br />with or without isolation <br /> <br />IN 10.4 Determine the species composition, relative abundance, and size class <br />structure of non-native fishes in the Colorado River ecosystem and important <br />tributaries <br /> <br />IN 10.5 Identify existing and potential sources of interaction (predatory, competitive) <br />between extant non-native fishes and native fishes of the Colorado River <br />ecosystem and important tributaries <br /> <br />IN 10.6 Evaluate the effects of various flow regimes under the approved operating <br />criteria, including beachlhabitat building flows, habitat maintenance flows, <br />and endangered fish research flows on the distribution and abundance of <br />native and non-native fishes in the Colorado River ecosystem and important <br />tributaries <br /> <br />B. TERRESTRIAL and RIPARIAN RESOURCES <br /> <br />Goal: To maintain a diversity of terrestrial and riparian species, including where <br />possible existing remnants of native communities, associated with ongoing natural evolutionary <br />and ecological processes giving priority to native species (i.e., those occurring not directly <br />because of man). <br /> <br />Definition: Terrestrial and riparian resources include, among other things: vegetation, <br />insects, amphibians, reptiles, avifauna, and mammals.
