LIST OF TABLES

Table 1. Mean total lengths of age-O Colorado squawfish
in reaches 1 (river kilometers 0-177) and 2
(river kilometers 226-274) of the Colorado River
1982-1988. River kilometers measured upstream
from the confluence of the Green and Colorado
Rivers (river kilometer 0). Age-O fish were
considered to be all fish ~ 65 mm total length

at time of capture ............................. 5

Table 2. Mean total lengths of age-O Colorado squawfish
in strata A and B (river kilometers 35-211)
and E and F (river kilometers 340-516) or in
reaches 3 (river kilometers 0-194) and 4
(river kilometers 323-515) of the Green River
1979-1988. River kilometers measured upstream
from the confluence of the Green and Colorado
Rivers (river kilometer 0)., Age-O fish were
considered to be all fish ~ 65 mm total length

at time of capture ............................. 6

of three initial sizes subjected to three feeding
regimes while being held under simulated winter
temperatures for various lengtbs of time .. ..... 15

of three initial sizes subjected to three feeding
regimes while being held under simulated winter
temperatures for various lengths of time ....... 17

Table 5. Condition factor (K) of wild age-O Colorado
squawfish collected from the Colorado River
near Moab, Utah, (river kilometers 74.2-159.5)
in the fall (1-2 October 1988) and the following
spring (15-16 March 1989). Fish collected in
fall are independent from fish collected in
