ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

.

This project could not have been completed without the assistance
of numerous individuals, all of whom, regrettably, cannot be acknowl-
edged at this time.
The help and insight of my major professor, Dr. Richard S. Wydoski,
was indispensable. Committee members, Drs. William T. Helm and Ivan G.
Palmblad, were very cooperative, as was Dr. Clair B. Stalnaker who was
my first major professor prior to his departure from USU.
The assistance of Charles W. McAda, my partner throughout most of
the study, is gratefully acknowledged. Rick Legan, Bob Hansen, and Lew
Richardson were of great assistance in the field.
All personnel of the National Park Service at Dinosaur National
Monument were very cooperative in this research effort; special mention
is given to Stephen J. Petersburg, Joe Alston, and Cecil D. Lewis, Jr.
Appreciation is extended to Bill White and Jim Young of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Salt Lake City, Utah, for helping to obtain
funds (USFWS Contract No. 14-16-0008-1140) and for making arrangements
to obtain larval and juvenile squawfish reared and preserved at Willow
Beach National Fish Hatchery by Don Toney.
I am grateful to the Utah Cooperative Fishery Unit and the Wildlife
Science Department of Utah State University for providing the facilities
and opportunity to conduct this study.
Many individuals associated with the Colorado River Fishes Recovery
Team, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Colorado Diyision of
Wildlife, and various federal agencies were very helpful.
