Estimated mean length by age for Colorado squawfish in the Colorado River. (A) <br />Lengths calculated by four methods (see Tables 1 and 2). Bars represent +/- 1 standard error. <br />For ages where lengths were calculated by adding mean growth increments to mean lengths of <br />the preceding age ages 8-55), standard errors were calculated assuming a linear combination <br />of mean growth increments. Additional lines are growth curves reported by other researchers: <br />solid: Seethaler (1978) for Colorado River; dotted: Hawkins (1992) for Colorado River; <br />dashed: Hawkins (1992) for four rivers combined. (B) Lengths from Monte Carlo simulations <br />using size-specific growth rates as shown in Tables 1 and 2. (C) Lengths from Monte Carlo <br />simulations assuming constant growth for fish z 550 mm TL (see Table 2). Bars in (C) and <br />(B) represent the lengths of 95% of fish for each age. <br />A-10
