METHODS <br />General procedures were: 1) review and summarize the <br />biology of target species, 2) evaluate control options available <br />to meet constraints of the Colorado River system, 3) recommend <br />appropriate control methods for each species, and .4) recommend <br />appropriate management approaches for the system. This process <br />is similar to that used by aquatic managers successful at <br />selectively controlling undesirable species within aquatic <br />communities. It was based on an extensive literature review. <br />The literature review consisted of: (1) a review of <br />species-specific journal articles and unpublished reports, and <br />(2) a review of regional fishery guides and general fishery <br />biology textbooks. Document searches were conducted through the <br />CD-ROM fisheries database and other computerized reference <br />databases at Utah State and Colorado State universities. A <br />keyword search for each species (common and scientific name) was <br />completed and printed. This search pfoduced a list of more than <br />10,000 articles and reports. The list was reviewed and <br />information from over 200 papers, reports, fisheries guides, and <br />textbooks was utilized in the literature review. Documents <br />identified as potentially useful for preparation of this report <br />were collected and reviewed. Following abstract review, <br />documents that were specifically pertinent to the project were <br />copied and reviewed. The majority of documents selected for <br />complete review were available from libraries at the University <br />of Utah, Colorado State University, or the Utah Division of <br />15
