capacity to meet San Juan's immediate needs. Colorado pikeminnow produced at the Mumma or 24-Road hatcheries in excess of Colorado's plan could be stocked into the San Juan River. In the San Juan River, we can achieve the recovery goal population target (1,000 age-5+) at current stocking levels (-2,000 age-O Colorado pikeminnow/mile). But the State of New Mexico thinks we could be stocking 100 times as many as we are now. Mortality of eggs and larvae is extremely high regardless of whether they are wild-spawned or hatchery-produced. Humpback chub In order to supplement humpback chub populations, the Program would need to devote some hatchery capacity to produce humpback chub. Colorado and Utah humpback chub population estimates, though still being evaluated, suggest declines in some humpback chub populations. The Program has prioritized razorback sucker and bonytail as the highest for reintroduction! augmentation, but the jury is still out on humpback chub. Age-classes of humpback chub are diverse and well-represented. Devoting hatchery space to humpback chub would reduce capacity for higher priority species. But we need tomonitor humpback chub and be prepared to modify stocking plans, if necessary. If necessary, there is humpback chub broodstock available in lower basin. 3.5 Recommendations Regarding Stocking Plans There should be an integrated Recovery Program stocking plan, rather than separate State plans. The Program Director's office should take the lead in drafting a plan, not a full-blown report, covering at least 2 years of production. The San Juan River should also be included. 4.0 MONITORING REPORTS 4.1 Monitoring and Evaluating Various Sizes of Domestic Reared Razorbacl{ Sucker Stocked in the Upper Colorado and Gunnison Rivers: 1995-2001 (Burdick 2002). The objectives of this study were to: I) determine the relationship between the size ofrazorback sucker stocked at 100,200, and 300 mm TL and their subsequent survival in the wild; 2) determine the dispersal of stocked fish of various sizes following release over time; 3) detennine habitat use of juvenile/subadult fish in the river; 4) identify ways to reduce mortality of stocked fish; 5) evaluate different gears for sampling juvenile/subadult razorback sucker for future monitoring programs; and 6) provide recommendations for the optimum size(s) for stocking razorback sucker into Upper Colorado River Basin rivers. Summary of results: 49,954 razorback sucker were stocked in the Gunnison and Colorado rivers from 1994-200 I (Figure 3). 226 razorback sucker were collected between 1996 and 2001. A retum rate of -0.5% of all fish stocked during this period. 11
