ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br />Numerous discussions with Vince Lamarra and Ron Ryel led to the formulation of this <br />project; I thank them for sharing their insight and ideas. I also thank Frank Pfeifer for his <br />efforts in procuring funding for this project and his continued support. Dale Ryden, Toby <br />Mourning, Bruce Bonar, Mike Montagne, Chuck McAda, Mike Tucker, Marty Miller and <br />Bob Burdick helped conduct electrofishing surveys. Occasional assistance in the field was <br />provided by Henry Maddux, Mike Baker and John Pitlick; their contribution is appreciated. <br />Ron Ryel laid out the electrofishing sampling design and performed statistical analyses. <br />Others deserving acknowledgment include Mike Farmer and Robert Muth of the Larval Fish <br />Laboratory who performed diet analyses, Jim Rinne and George.Smith who provided <br />thermograph data for the Yampa and Gunnison rivers, and Chuck McAda who provided <br />backwater seine survey and mapping data for the Colorado River. Also, reviews of earlier <br />versions of this report were provided by David Propst, John Hawkins and Anita Martinez. <br />This research was funded by the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish <br />Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The Recovery Program is a joint effort of the <br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Western Area Power <br />Administration, states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, Upper Basin water users, <br />environmental organizations, and the Colorado River Energy Distributors Association. <br />viii <br />Shoreline electrofishing in Stratum 1 of the Colorado River.
