Table 2. Summary of razorback sucker and bonytail larvae introduced in each 1/8-acre <br />enclosure at the Baeser floodplain wetland, Green River (RM 273): 2004. <br />Enclosure Density Razorback Bonytail Total <br />Larvae/Acre sucker <br />1 A 400 50 50 <br />1B 400 50 50 <br />2A 400 50 50 <br />2B 400 50 50 <br />3A 800 100 100 <br />3B 800 100 100 <br />4A 4,000 500 500 <br />4B 4,000 500 500 <br />SA 8,000 1,000 1,000 2,000 <br />SB 8,000 1,000 1,000 2,000 <br />6A 40,000 5,000 5,000 <br />6B 40,000 5,000 5,000 <br /> Total 13,400 2,000 15,400 <br />Analysis and calculations <br />Growth rates of razorback sucker and bonytail were calculated by subtracting the <br />mean length at time of stocking from the mean length at capture divided by the mean <br />number of days the razorback suckers and bonytail were in the enclosure. Abundance <br />estimates including 95% confidence intervals for razorback sucker, bonytail and <br />nonnative fish were calculated using depletion and linear regression. <br />RESULTS <br />2003 <br />Water Quality Measurements <br />Water depth was maintained at approximately 0.6 m through the study. Water <br />quality in the Baeser wetland was conductive to growth of YOY warm water fish with <br />recorded temperatures ranging from 18 to 32 °C (Appendix). <br />8 <br />
