<br />Even 105 km downstream below the confluence of the Green and [he
<br />warmer unimpounded Vampa River, mean monthly summer water
<br />temperature in 1964 was only 16.90 C (Bulkley and Pimentel, 1983). Based
<br />on growth oE yearling Colorado squawEish in the laboratory, growth .11 l.So
<br />C would be only 18% and at 200 Conly 54% oE the rate achievabk iE
<br />/t'lIlperature were maintained at 250 C. Hence, new water devrlopmenl and
<br />storage projects in the upper Colorado River drainage should be dl'signnl
<br />10 provide summer water temperature as near 250 C as possible if
<br />preservation of the habitat for yearling Colorado squawhsh IS a
<br />(onsideration.
