<br />Portions of the field studies were funded by the
<br />Recovery Implementation Prograna for Endangered
<br />Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin, which
<br />is a joint effort of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service;
<br />U. S. Bureau of Reclamation; Western Area Power
<br />Administration; states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyom-
<br />ing; upper basin water users; environmental organiza-
<br />tions; and the Colorado River Energy Distributors
<br />Association under a cooperative agreement (8-FC-40-
<br />06460) with the Larval Fish Laboratory (LFL).
<br />Laboratory experiments and individual-based modeling
<br />efforts were funded by the National Park Service and
<br />the Midcontinent Ecological Sciences Center of the U.
<br />S. Geological Survey. Project administration was
<br />facilitated by L. Crist, C. Karas, R. Muth, N.
<br />Shropshire, C. Stalnaker, E. Wick, R. Williams, and
<br />S. Williamson. Laboratory and field assistance was
<br />provided by J. Bundy, G. Haines, 8. Gutermuth, S.
<br />Meismer, T. Rolloff, H. Tillquist, M. Williams, and
<br />others. Unpublished data were provided by C. McAda
<br />and L. Lentsch. Reviews by D. Anderson, K. Fausch,
<br />B. Johnson, B. Kondratieff, R. Muth, and anonymous
<br />reviewers much improved this manuscript. This is LFL
<br />contribution 127.
