.s <br />distinct frequencies, along with subsequent follow-up radio-teleaetry aoni- <br />J coring, is currently the beat method known. If enough adults could be aoni- <br />tored, important spawning areas could be located and e~entnally aodeled <br />hydraulically. Through the uae of modeling, optimum or mintenaace floe recoar <br />emendations could be projected. <br />Also, additional information is needed on the survival rate of aquawfiah <br />through the first year of life. Physical habitat requirements, fish migration <br />barriers or traps, and infra-specific competition are three areas of additional <br />data requirements. Obtaining these data could require a longer term collection <br />period, extending through the winter. <br />Although not directly tied to the San Juan River, the spanning success of <br />razorback suckers in the San Juan arm of Lake Powell needs to be quantified. <br />Once a spawning aggregation is identified, the area could be sampled by <br />trawling a fine-meshed larval seine across the suspected redds. <br />Finally, these data shoe that the San Juan River remains an important hab- <br />itat to the Colorado squawfish, but, there still remains significant data gaps <br />in defining the life-cycle requirements of the species in the river. Addi- <br />tional study will better define these needs so that whatever recommendations <br />are made are based on a sound data base and not on conjecture. <br />23 <br />
