A fifth scenario re-analyzes historic hydrology but begins with current drought- <br />related low reservoir elevations to determine the effect of extremely low elevations on <br />release temperatures (without selective withdrawal). Model results determine the <br />temperature regimes which are possible throughout a given set of years, the etfectiveness <br />of incorporating selective withdrawal structures at the dam, and the effect of selective <br />withdrawals on the reservoir's long term heat budget. The optimal range of temperature <br />and releases needed to meet the temperature targets downstream at Delta identified in <br />Osmundson's 1999 report are determined. This study indicates that it is possible to meet <br />downstream temperature targets through incorporation of a multiple-level selective <br />withdrawal structure. The effect of selective temperature releases on the heat budget of <br />the reservoir is minor and of short duration, being dominated by other hydrologic and <br />meteorological factors. <br /> <br />Nonnative Fish Control <br /> <br />Review of Middle Green River Northern Pike Control <br /> <br />Williams, Ben and Ron Brunson <br /> <br />Utah Division of 'Wildlife Resources, Vernal, Utah <br /> <br />Effort to control Northern pike (Esox lucius) in the Middle Green River was initiated in <br />2001 and continued through 2003. The purpose of this effort is to develop an effective <br />control program and reduce the density of adults such that predatory and competitive <br />impacts on growth, recruitment, and survival of endangered and other native fishes are <br />minimized. Northern pike were removed from known concentration areas of the middle <br />Green River, including the mouth of Brush Creek, Cliff Creek, Stewart Lake Drain, <br />Ashley Creek, Sportsman Drain and the mouth of the Duchesne River. Other habitats <br />sampled were large, relatively deep backwaters and shoreline areas. Sampling gear used <br />included fyke nets, trammel nets and electrofishing. Trammel nets were used in <br />conjunction with electro fishing as a productive sample method. A total of 248 northern <br />pike were removed from the middle Green River in 2001, 42 in 2002, and 22 in 2003. <br />Catch rates have decreased from 0.56 northern pike/net-night in 2001 to 0.03 northern <br />pike/net-night in 2003, and 1.24 northern pike/electro fishing-hour in 2001 to 0.22 <br />northern pike/electro fishing-hour in 2003. Four Northern pike were captured with <br />razorback suckers in their stomachs during 2003 sampling. Mechanical removal has been <br />shown to be an effective northern pike control method in the middle Green river. <br /> <br />7 <br />
