1 .

Identify and maintain the discharge and physico-chemical conditions in the
Little Snake River that support Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub, and a
mostly native fish community. These conditions might include the timing,
magnitude, and pattern of runoff and baseflow and associated physico-
chemical conditions such as turbidity, diel temperature fluctuations, or
sediment load.

2.

Setter describe the migrations and interactions of humpback chub between
the Little Snake and Yampa rivers, possibly through intensive telemetry
studies.

3.

Identify spawning sites for humpback chub that reside in the Yampa River
and Little Snake River.

4.

Include humpback chub and Colorado pikeminnow that reside in the Little
Snake River with Yampa River abundance estimates.
