LIST OF TABLES

Page
Table 1. Native fishes of the lower Colorado River Basin prior to development. .... 27

Table 2. Timeline of progression of human development of water controls on the lower

Colorado River; Obtained from USBR records. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 28

Table 3. Least squares analysis of increment count as a function of known age for larval

razorback suckers reared at Ad libitum, Suboptimal and Starved feeding levels.

Regression equations are increment count = intercept + slope (known age).

The P value represents significance of the F -test for slope = 1 and T - test for

intercept = O. .......................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 46

Table 4. Analysis of covariance of estimated age (increment count) as a function of

known age of razorback sucker larvae among feeding treatments. AGE is the

covariate, FEED the treatment variable, and AGE*FEED as a test of

homogeneity of slopes. ........................................... 47

Table 5. Least squares statistics for analysis oflo8e sagittal otolith diameter of razorback
sucker larvae as a function of total length (TL) for Ad libitum, Suboptimal and
Starved feeding treatments. Regression equations are L08e (sagittal diameter) =
intercept +slope (TL). ............................................ 48
