3) To determine effects of flow fluctuation at Flaming <br />Gorge Dam on the survival and rearing of young-of-the-year <br />(YOY) and juvenile Colorado squawfish in the Green River. <br />This study is designed to verify and build upon the work completed in <br />the 1979-81 CRFP studies. The objectives of this study are interrelated, <br />especially objectives 1 and 2 (i.e. Radiotelemetry will be needed in <br />order to verify flows needed for spawning) . The success of spawning, <br />objective 2, as projected from collections of YOY fish aids in accom- <br />plishing objective 3, impact of flow on YOY su rvival. <br />During 1983, studies were limited to the Colorado River between Palisade, <br />Colorado and the Green River confluence; the Gunnison River between the <br />Redlands Diversion structure and the confluence of the Gunnison and <br />Colorado rivers; the lower 20 miles of Yampa River; and the Green River <br />from the confluence of the Yampa downstream to its confluence with the <br />Colorado River (Figure 1) . <br />Funds were also allocated by the FWS to radiotrack Colorado <br />the Dinosaur National Monument (DNM). Some of the results <br />are also provided here as they relate to work accomplished <br />contract. <br />squawfish in <br />of that work <br />under this <br />2 <br />
