2A. The following 9 graphs show the dispersal distances (km) for razorback
suckers in the experimental treatment. Fish 15E was the only sucker to still
remain in the Green River by the end of the project ....................... 36

2B. The following 14 graphs show the dispersal distances (km) for razorback
suckers in the control treatment. Four graphs could not fit on this page

4. Plots of condition factor (K = [weight(grams)* 100]/[length(mm)3] vs.
length(A) and weight(B). K is .positively correlated with weight
(p = 0.02), but not with length (p = 0.97, B) ............................. 41

6. Graph A displays the trends in dispersal distance over three time
periods. Graph B shows that the average rate of razorback sucker
movement (km/day) decreases from an initially high rate following
stocking. Graph C illustrates the average direction that razorback
suckers traveled. For graph C there is a significant treatment
affect (p = 0.042) ..................................................43
