27 <br />Carlin-tagged fish X61166 (Y) was originally captured on the spawning <br />bar at river km 26.4 (mile 16.4) by the USFWS on July 5, 1981 (Miller et <br />al. 1983b). This fish was recaptured on March 25, 1982 and implanted <br />with radiotag number 3. On May 27, 1982, three recaptured Carlin-tagged <br />squawfish were among eight squawfish captured in a large man-made k <br />backwater at river km 152 (mile 99), 6.4 km above Juniper Canyon. Two <br />of these fish were originally caught in pool habitat inside Juniper <br />Canyon, river km 146.5 (mile 91) in October 1980 and 1981 by the CDOW <br />(Wick et al., 1981). Finally, recapture #1138 (Y) at river km 123 (mile <br />76.3) on August 24, 1982, was originally captured at river km 18.5 <br />(mile 11.5) on July 1, 1981 by the USFWS (Miller et al., 1982b). <br />Extended pre- and postspawning electrofishing resulted in capture <br />and tagging of 30 Colorado squawfish, all greater than 400 mm TL above <br />the entrance to Yampa Canyon. From July 2 through August 7, 40 fish <br />were captured between river km 33 and km 8.2 (mile 20.5 to 5.1), <br />including five recaptures that were not originally Carlin-tagged within <br />Yampa Canyon in 1982. There were 25 males, 11 possible females and 4 <br />fish of indeterminate sex. Fifty-five percent of the above fish from <br />Yampa Canyon were captured within 0.8 km (0.5 mile) of the spawning site <br />at river km 26.4 (mile 16.4). All migrant radiotagged fish were at some <br />time observed within this area. <br />Larval fish collections <br />The 1982 larval fish collections contained larval Colorado squawfish <br />only from below river km 20.8 (mile 12.9), below the known spawning site
