The overall objective of this investigation is to monitor existing popula-
tions of Colorado squawfish and humpback chubs in selected trend zones and
concurrently assess habitat status within these zones. Spawning success will
be monitored by sampling habitats for larval fishes of both species. Informa-
tion derived from this investigation will be made available to management and
research personnel in the Division of Wildlife and other cooperating agencies.
A final report for the monitoring effort from 1977-1983 will be prepared and
distributed sometime in July 1984.
Segment Objectives
1. Monitor existing populations of squawfish and humpback chubs in
selected trend zones.
2. Monitor habitat status concurrently with population monitoring in
selected trend zones.
3• Monitor squawfish and humpback chub spawning success.
4. Increase public awareness of endangered fishes.
5. Develop capability to respond to requests from individuals and agencies.
