ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br />This report benefitted from thoughtful reviews provided by Kevin Bestgen (Larval Fish <br />Laboratory), Tom Chart (U. S. Bureau of Reclamation), Chuck McAda (U. S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Service), Torn Nesler (Colorado Division of Wildlife), Bob Norman (U. S. Bureau <br />of Reclamation), Tom Pitts (Upper Basin Water Users), and Art Roybal (Western Area <br />Power Administration). Many passages on fish life history were excerpted from a <br />concurrently drafted report authored by Chuck McAda (McAda 2001); I thank Chuck for <br />allowing me to paraphrase and reuse his text here. John Pitlick (University of Colorado) <br />provided the photograph used on the front cover. He, Frank Pfeiffer, Chuck McAda, and <br />Vince Lamarra contributed many insightful discussions and helpful suggestions along the <br />way. <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, U. S. National Park Service, <br />Western Area Power Administration, states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, Upper Basin <br />water users, environmental organizations, and the Colorado River Energy Distributers <br />Association. <br />v
