This humpback chub moved a <br />distance of 32 km from its capture location in the Little Snake River to its final <br />location in the Yampa River, including 5.6 km downstream in the Little Snake River <br />to the confluence and 26 km downstream in the Yampa River. The final location of <br />this fish (RK 57) was only 2 km from the other telemetered humpback chub that <br />was at RK 59 in the Yampa River. <br /> <br />Two humpback chub were not implanted with transmitters because they <br />were in poor condition and because one was also captured too late in the season. <br />Based on length-weight relationships developed for Grand Canyon humpback chub <br />in 1990 and 1991 Oog weight = -5.324 + 3.117 log total length, R2 = 0.99) by <br />Valdez and Ryel (1995), the humpback chub that was 292-mm total length and <br />140 grams was only 61 % of expected weight for similar-sized individuals. The <br />other humpback chub that was 268-mm total length and 154 grams was 87% of <br />expected weight. In addition to being in poor condition, this fish was caught on the <br />last sampling trip and we decided not to implant it because it would not receive <br />additional ground-based monitoring. Relative weights of the two humpback chub <br />that were implanted were 99-100% of expected weight. <br /> <br />One roundtail chub was implanted with a transmitter (40.670 MHz) in the <br />Little Snake River at RK 9.5 on July 17. It was not found during a telemetry search <br />of the Little Snake River on July 26, but was found on August 9 near RK 85 in the <br />Yampa River, about 5-km upstream of the Little Snake River confluence. On <br />September 26 it was near RK 82 on the Yampa River, about 1-km upstream of the <br />Little Snake River confluence. It moved a total of about 10 km from its release <br />location in the Little Snake River. <br />
