F-3. All pertinent agencies will be a part of the reintroduction
effort from the beginning. The habitat improvement work you
discuss on Sycamore Creek may or may not have benefited woundfin.
See D-3.
G-1. The 100,000 fish needed to determine if a reintroduction is suc-
cessful is the winter population low.
G-2. The hydrologic study of the Virgin River is to determine habitat
parameters for the woundfin. We agree that conditions in-the
Virgin River are constantly shifting. Suitable habitat for the
woundfin may move from one side of the stream to the other, or
migrate up or downstream slightly, but it appears to maintain
some degree of consistency because the species has survived in
the Virgin River and not in other desert rivers. This consistency
of woundfin habitat is what the study is to determine.
G-3. This figure has been changed to $20,000 in the final Recovery Plan.
H-1. The primary goal is to remove the woundfin from the threat of
extinction. Once this has been achieved, it can be down-listed
to threatened. See F-1.
H-2. These recommended changes have been incorporated-into the final
Recovery Plan.
I-l. Some of these recommendations have been incorporated into the
final Recovery Plan.
I-2. Some of these recommendations have been incorporated into the
final Recovery Plan. In some cases it has not been possible
to be more specific (e.g., habitat enhancement, land acquisi-
tion). As Recovery Plan implementation proceeds, these areas
will be updated.
J-1. This recommendation has been incorporated into the final Recovery
Plan (Figure 2).
K-1. Portions of the Baumann findings have been incorporated into the
final Recovery Plan.
