<br />t <br /> <br />that form on downstream ends of backbar channels and terrace- or wall-based channels (Figure 2), <br />which remain connected to the main channel at baseflows. They may feed in these environments <br />(Valdez and Wick 1983) or simply move into low velocity habitats to avoid the higher flow of the <br />main channel (Doug Osmundson, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Grand Junction, CO, personal <br /> <br />communication). Growth is optimum at 250C, based on experimental studies; Kaeding and <br />Osmundson (1988) showed that growth in the 15-mile reach of the Colorado River was reduced, <br /> <br />because maximum temperatures were less than optimum for maximum growth year around. <br />Warmer temperatures in backwater environments could offset the cold water effect (Wick et al. <br />1983), assuming food supply is adequate and small squawflsh can avoid predation. <br /> <br /> 600 1883 100 1884 <br /> z z <br />.
