<br />rivers of the Colorado River Basin.

<br />Research funding was provided by the U.S. Bureau
<br />of Reclamation, Salt Lake City, Utah under Coop-
<br />erative agreement 8-FC-40-06460 with the Larval
<br />Fish Laboratory (LFL), Colorado State University,
<br />and by the Recovery Implementation Program of
<br />the Upper Colorado River Basin. Project adminis-
<br />tration was facilitated by R. Williams, L. Crist, and
<br />R. Muth. Fish embryos were provided by Dexter
<br />National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center,
<br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The laboratory as-
<br />sistance of H. Tillquist, G. Bestgen, J. Bundy, and
<br />M. Williams is appreciated. The manuscript bene-
<br />fitted from reviews by D. Anderson, D. Beyers, W.
<br />Clements, K. Fausch, R. Muth, J. Rice, and J. Ward
<br />and anonymous referees, and Anderson suggested
<br />the response surface analysis. Advice of G. White
<br />regarding data analysis is appreciated. This paper is
<br />LFL contribution 70.
