* The area of available nursery habitat appears to be a function of the relative water stage in
relation to the average elevation of bar surface. ,.ir~

* If water is to be released from Flaming Gorge Dam so as to maximize nursery habitat for
Colorado squawfish, the design flows must consider (1) magnitude of and duration of peak flow that
aggrades bar surfaces and (2) the magnitude of base flows in relation to the elevation of bar surfaces.
