ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am particularly grateful to my major professor, Dr. Richard S.
Wydoski, for his enthusiastic support and guidance throughout this
project. My committee members, Drs. Charles W. Fowler and Donald B.
Porcella, provided valuable assistance during the study. Dr. Fowler
was especially helpful with the data analysis. Dr. Richard A. Valdez
reviewed an early version of this thesis.
The field work could not have been accomplished without the
assistance of Karl Seethaler, Craig Reger, Larry Maclain, Dennis Cox,
and John Henderson. Kurt Rudd, Kevin Priest, Calvin Larson, Jay King,
and Mrs. Joy Wydoski helped with the laboratory work.
Mr. George Kidd, formerly of the Colorado Division of Wildlife,
willingly shared his intimate knowledge of the Colorado River, for
which I am thankful. The interest of Steve Petersburg and Joe
Alston, of the Dinosaur National Monument, is gratefully acknowledged.
This study was funded by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Contract No. 14-16-0008-1140. The Utah Cooperative Fishery Research
Unit provided equipment and laboratory space.
