<br />razorback sucker was 384 mm TL and weighed 601 g. No other fish species were observed. <br />This razorback sucker was a hatchery reared fish stocked in 1999 in a wetland above Brennan at <br />river mile 266.0 (427.9 River Kilometer; RK); at stocking it was 189 mm TL and weighed 98.2 <br />g. The fish was captured again on 6 April 2000 by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources <br />(UDWR); at that time it was 366 mm TL and weighed 567 g. <br />Approximately 4.4 miles (7.08 km) of the Green River Canal below the first siphon was <br />electrofished from 12-13 July 2000 (Figure 2). Five Colorado pikeminnow were captured <br />between the first and second siphons (Figure 2; Table 1; Table 2). Two others were observed but <br />not captured. No tubercles were seen; the vent was not swollen; and milt or eggs were not <br />observed or expressed. The average size of these pikeminnow was 546.5 mm TL. Two of the <br />five pikeminnow were captured previously by the UDWR. The first pikeminnow (PIT-tag <br />1F2050343D) was captured in the Green River at river mile 159.9 (257.3 RK; below Joe Hutch <br />Canyon Rapid) on 24 July 1999; it was 495 mm TL and weighed 956 g. The second <br />pikeminnow (PIT-tag 51331D4E71) was captured in the White River at river mile 5.5 (8.8 RK) <br />on 20 May 1999; it was 499 mm TL and weighed 960 g. <br />Several other species were also captured in this section (Table 1). A Gila with a thick body and <br />narrow caudal peduncle, possibly a bonytail (Gila elegans), was caught. Common carp ( <br />Cyprinus carpio) and channel catfish (ktalurus punctatus) were the most abundant fish. Also 35 <br />red shiners were captured. Below the second siphon (Searson's property), no endangered fish <br />were captured or seen. Carp were the only fish found in this section. <br />In September, the raceway and the canal between the gate and first siphon were electrofished. <br />Three Colorado pikeminnow were observed in the raceway, but only one was captured; this fish
