Memorandum
To: Regional Director, Region 6, Fish & Wildlife Service
Denver, Colorado
From: State Director, Bureau of Land Management, Utah
Subject: Comments on Draft squawfish Recovery Plan
(FA/SE/Colorado Fishes Recovery Team)
This refers to your August 19 memorandum requesting comments on the
subject plan.
We have been involved in the planning and preparation of this. plan
through the Bureau's official representative, Mr. Bob Gervais, fisheries
biologist, Colorado State Office. Our state office fisheries biologist,
as well as Moab and Vernal districts' fisheries biologist have also
attended meetings and provided input into the plan, including proposed
budget estimates. We feel the plan adequately represents the present
situation of the Colorado squawfish and its habitat.
The following comments, we feel, are necessary to update the document:
Page 3, paragraph 1, dealing with .Present Distribution and
E-1 Abundance should have reference to the capture an presence of
squawfish in the White River in Colorado (May 27,-1977) by Colorado
State University under contract by the Colorado BLM.
Page 18, item 1221, Establish monitoring procedures, we suggest the
E-2 White River from the Utah-Colorado stateline to the confluence
of the Green River be included as a monitoring zone because of
the recent discovery of squawfish in the Colorado portion of the
White River.
