Sampling of backwaters in spring should continue in order of determine numbers of age-O Colorado <br />squawfish and assess overwinter survival. <br /> <br />2. Efforts should be made to determine habitat use and movement of age-O Colorado squawfish during <br />the winter. <br /> <br />3. The numbers of age-O and juvenile Colorado squawfish being transported into Lake Powell by <br />variable winter flows, spring runoff, and rain spates should be determined by sampling of the inflow <br />region. <br /> <br />4. Backwaters of various depths should be sampled in fall and monitored during winter and spring to <br />assess ice depth and available free water. <br /> <br />5. Observed decreases in fall to spring densities of age-O Colorado squawfish should be related to flow <br />data. <br /> <br />6. Fall to spring decreases in CPE should be compareq for age-O Colorado squawfish < 35 mm TL vs <br />age-O > 35 mm TL. ' . <br />
