C~ <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />~ Increase trammel net effort (CPUE) in Westwater Canyon. <br />• Use hoop nets and electrofishing to improve probability of capture (p-hat) and coefficient of <br />variation (CV). <br />~ Use smaller mesh trammel nets, hoop nets, minnow traps and electrofishing to target subadult <br />humpback chub in Westwater Canyon. <br />• Incorporate a fourth pass and additional sampling locations (i.e., upper Cougar, Big Hole) to <br />improve (p-hat) and coefficient of variation (CV). <br />• Consider Black Rocks and Westwater Canyon a single population and determine a single point <br />estimate for each year to be consistent with the assumptions for closed population estimates. <br />• Investigate use of most appropriate statistical programs and associated models to generate <br />future adult humpback chub population estimates. <br />• Include a radiotelemetry component in future adult humpback chub population estimates to <br />provide additional resolution of movement and site fidelity within and among sampling areas <br />of Westwater Canyon. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~ 14 <br />
