<br />37% survival after the first growing season (95% confidence interval ± 730) (Figure 7). <br />~ There were a total of 128 individual razorback sucker tagged during fall sampling. Fyke <br />net and scare and snare sampling in the spring resulted in the capture of 74 fish with 8 <br /> <br />recaptures. <br />At Baeser Bend 761 individual razorback sucker were PIT tagged or marked in <br />three days of sampling with fyke nets. One day each of sampling with fyke nets and <br />~ electrofishing following the initial tagging effort resulted in the capture of 109 razorback <br />sucker with 73 recaptures. Based on these captures the razorback sucker population <br />estimate in Baeser Bend was estimated at 1,136 fish or 52% survival after the first <br />~ growing season (95% confidence interval ± 152) (Figure 7). There were a total of 797 <br /> <br />individual razorback sucker tagged during fall sampling. Fyke net and scare and snare <br />sampling in the spring resulted in the capture of 121 fish with 74 recaptures. <br />At Above Brennan 129 individual razorback sucker were PIT tagged in 3 days of <br />sampling with fyke nets in the fall. One day of "scare and snare" sampling following the <br />~ initial tagging effort resulted in the capture of 35 razorback sucker with 4 recaptures. <br />Based on these captures the razorback sucker population in Above Brennan was <br />estimated at 1,129 fish or 57% survival after the first growing season (95% confidence <br />~ interval ~ 1,062) (Figure 7). There were a total of 160 individual razorback sucker <br />tagged during fall sampling. Fyke net and scare and snare sampling in the spring <br />sampling resulted in the capture of 63 fish with seven recaptures. <br />Razorback sucker survival was significantly reduced in 2000 which coincided <br />with below average spring flows, and drought conditions that persisted through the <br />~ summer. Water quality in the study sites became a concern in early August 2000, <br />11 <br /> <br />
