<br />· The Ute Indian Tribe, Uintah . and Ouray Agency, has verbally agreed to the <br />Nonnative Fish Stocking Procedures. <br /> <br />IV. Propagation Activities <br /> <br />Goal: · Produce a sufficient supply of hatchery-reared fish to support research arid <br />recovery activities. <br />· Conserve the genetic diversity present in the wild. <br /> <br />Status: <br /> <br />· Table 2 identifies the species, numbers, and sizes of fish expected to be stocked <br />during 2003 into various river reaches to meet requirements of the integrated <br />stocking plan for the Recovery Program. <br /> <br />· The Recovery Program is considering moving to a new passive integrated <br />transponder (PIT) tag with a lower frequency. This has been proposed for all <br />fish stocked beginning in 2004. Advantages of the new tag include remote <br />sensing antennae that can be used at nan-ow inlets to floodplains, which would <br />accurately document use of floodplain areasby razorback sucker and bonytail. <br />Disadvantages include new readers, which do not always pick up the presence <br />of an old tag, requiring researchers to use both readers on captured fish. <br /> <br />Table 2.~Species, nuinbers, and sizes of fish already stocked or expected to be stocked during <br />. 2003 to meet the integrated stocking plan. <br /> <br />Species River Section Number Time (Hatchery) Size (inches) <br />Bony tail Green (Middle) -12,000 Fall (Mumma) >8 <br /> -2,700 Summer-Fall (Wahweap) <br /> . <br /> Green (Lower) -5,300 Summer-Fall (Wahweap) >8 <br /> Colorado (Colorado) 885 Spring (Mumma) >8 <br /> -12,000 Fall (Mumma) <br /> Colorado (Utah) -2,700 Summer-Fall (Wahweap) >8 <br />Razorback sucker Green (Middle) 7,830Spring (Ouray) -12 <br /> -1,900 Summer-:-Fall (Ouray) <br /> Green (Lower) -4,900 Fall (Ouray) > 12 <br /> -4,900 Summer-Fall (Grand Junction) <br /> Colorado (Colorado) -9,900 Summer-Fall (Grand Junction) > 12 <br />Colorado pikeminnow Colorado (Colorado) -2,250 Summer....:Fall (Grand Junction) >6 <br /> <br />V.
