<br />flows and recruit into the river population? <br />~ 4) If so, what cues trigger migration from the floodplain? The purpose of this <br />study was to try and answer the latter three questions. A separate scope of work <br />was submitted and approved to answer the first question (Christopherson <br /> <br />2000a). <br />The goal of this study was to evaluate if floodplain depressions will aid in the natural <br />~ recovery of razorback sucker. The specific objectives of this study were to: <br />1) Stock larval and juvenile razorback sucker in selected floodplain depressions. <br />2) Monitor Stocked fish. <br />~ A) Determine larval and juvenile razorback sucker survival rate in a <br />nonnative dominated environment for a period of one or more <br />years. <br />B) Determine growth rate of larval and juvenile razorback sucker in a <br />nonnative dominated environment. <br />~ C) Determine if fish leave wetlands after using floodplain depressions <br />for a period of one or more years (recruitment into the mainstem <br />population). <br />D) Assuming C is true, determine how long fish use wetlands before <br />i <br /> <br />leaving and what factors trigger movement from floodplain wetlands <br />to the river. <br />3 <br /> <br />
