1 <br />VII. <br />VIII. <br />Fisheries Society policy statement "Introductions of Aquatic , <br />Species" (Appendix C; Items a-g on Page 24). <br />TIONS, SITUATIONS. AND SPECIES WHERE STOCKING OF NONNATIVE. <br />1. Stocking of nonnative, nonsalmonid fish species in rivers within <br />critical habitat or having a direct connection to critical habitat <br />of the Upper Colorado River Basin is unacceptable. <br /> <br />2. Stocking of nonnative, nonsalmonid fish species in the 0- to <br />50-year floodplain is unacceptable, except as provided in Section <br />IV. <br />3. The following fish species would be prohibited from being stocked <br />in any waters in the basin: northern pike, common carp, red <br />shiner, black bullhead, yellow bullhead, wiper, green sunfish, <br />flathead catfish, and white crappie. However, this prohibition <br />does not include fish removed from the river or other problem areas <br />and transplanted to waters already containing these species where <br />escapement is not likely possible or waters created as part of a <br />fish removal plan (subject to the minimum criteria in Section V and <br />State and Service approval). <br />SPECIAL CASES <br />1. Channel catfish, mosquitofish, redside shiner, and smallmouth bass <br />may be stocked in any water above Flaming Gorge Dam. <br /> <br />Channel catfish: The Flaming Gorge outlet structure precludes <br />virtually all warmwater fish escapement. <br />Redside shiner: Currently used as forage in some Wyoming ponds <br />above Flaming Gorge Dam. This species is not likely to pass <br />through the reservoir environment and outlet structure because the <br />deep reservoir release at Flaming Gorge Dam precludes virtually all <br />escapement of warmwater fishes. <br />Smallmouth bass: The same rationale was provided for redside <br />shiner above Flaming Gorge Dam (i.e., outlet structure precludes <br />virtually all warmwater fish escapement). <br />2. Lake Management Plans will be prepared for Jerry Creek Reservoir <br />and Juniata Reservoir. After these plans are accepted (following <br />criteria in Section V) by the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the <br />Fish and Wildlife Service, these waters will be stocked on a <br />routine basis. <br />3. Warmwater species may be stocked into standing waters (with Lake <br />Management Plans approved by the State wildlife agency and the <br />10 <br /> <br />t
