<br />positively identified as fish originally stocked in the study sites and four more were <br />~ probable (Table 2 and Appendix A, Table 5). These 23 fish comprise 56% of the <br />razorback sucker caught in the Green River in 2000 (Table 2). Three of the 23 <br /> <br />razorbacks were caught in breach traps during connection and three others were <br />previously PIT tagged during in situ sampling (Table 3). Four fish were originally PIT <br />tagged in Baeser Bend and two in Above Brennan. Three of the fish were caught in the <br />~ Duchesne River near the Green River confluence. The other three were caught in the <br />Green River at river miles 300.0 (Rkm 484.0)1 Rm upstream from Ashley Creek, 259.4 <br />(Rkm 403.5)1 Rm upstream from Old Charley Wash and 277.8 (Rkm 447.0) 2 Rm from <br />~ The Stirrup site (Table 3 and Figure 1). The average distance a fish traveled from the <br />point of origin was 20.3 Rm (32.7 Rkm) (Table 3). <br />During abundance estimate sampling for Colorado pikeminnow (Hawkins 1999) <br />i <br />and northern pike removal in 2001 (Christopherson 2000b), 148 individual razorback <br />sucker were caught in the Green River (Table 2 and Appendix A, Table 6). Seventy- <br />~ one of these razorbacks were positively identified as fish originally stocked in the <br />floodplain and twenty more were probable (Table 2 and Appendix A, Table 6). These <br />fish comprise 61 % of the razorback sucker caught in the river during 2001 (Table 2). <br />~ Three of these ninety one razorbacks caught in the river, had been previously caught in <br />breach traps leaving sites during connection and fourteen others were previously PIT <br />~ tagged during in situ sampling (Table 4). Nine fish were originally tagged at Above <br />Brennan, seven at Baeser Bend and one at The Stirrup (Table 4). Four of the fish were <br />caught in the Duchesne River near the Green River confluence. Four were caught by <br />~ USFWS personnel in the Green River at Moon Bottom (228.8 Rm, 368.1 Rkm), Peter's <br />18 <br /> <br />
