The Grand Mesa Project is a potential multi-
<br />purpose water development in Delta and Gttnn{-
<br />son counties. It would develop water of the
<br />Gunnison River and North Fork River tribu-
<br />taries. This literature review compiles the
<br />existing records of fish and wildlife within
<br />the Grand Mesa area. Information within the
<br />review includes species lists, stocking and
<br />harvest histories, winterkill problems, fisher-
<br />man use trends, and stream flow data.

<br />This study consisted of three phases: to
<br />determine the fish species in the Republican
<br />River tributaries, to determine their distri-
<br />bution and abundance, and to statistically
<br />analyze habitat and species associations of
<br />more abundant species. Intended to provide
<br />information for future management decisions.
<br />Maps are included.

<br />habits of common fishes; and habitat quality
<br />for fish and macroinvertebrate communities
<br />were investigated.
