Other physical habitat data that were collected whenever possible at each fish <br />location included total water depth, water velocity (mean column and bottom), substrate <br />type, proximity to cover, description of cover at the location, general description of the <br />site; measurements of the habitat type including length, width, bank features, shoreline <br />vegetation, dominant substrate and cover for the habitat type. Discharge was obtained <br />from the USGS gaging station near Maybell, Colorado. <br />The 24-hour observations began during week 5 (the first week after all Colorado <br />squawfish had been captured and implanted) and continued weekly until the end of the <br />study. One Colorado squawfish was chosen for a 24-hour continuous observation during <br />each observation week. The fish chosen for the 24 hour observation was relocated and <br />observed for movement approximately every hour except for some short periods when <br />weather interfered. All observed activity and movement by fish during this time was <br />recorded. <br />Draft Yampa River Radio Telemetry Report Page 3 <br />' Miller Ecological Consultants, Inc. December 13, 1996
