We recommend additional monitoring of water temperatures, flows, and the fish
community of the Green River in Browns Park, Lodore and Whirlpool canyons, and Island-
Rainbow Park. Comparisons of fish community response to different flow and temperature
regimes from Flaming Gorge Dam may enhance understanding of factors that may limit invasive
species, particularly predators. We also recommend PIT-tagging and scanning all chubs
captured, including roundtail chubs, and removal of predaceous and other non-native fishes from
the study area.
