Evaluate survival and growth oflarval razorback sucker in the presence of nonnative <br />predators by stocking larvae into experimental enclosures at four stocking densities. <br />2. Evaluate survival and growth oflarval razorback sucker and bonytail in the presence of <br />nonnative predators by stocking together at equal densities into experimental enclosures. <br />Goal <br />Evaluate larval razorback sucker drift characteristics and use the data to revise management <br />for middle Green River floodplains based on potential larval razorback sucker entrainment. <br />Obiectives <br />1. Evaluate larval drift and entrainment patterns downstream from Razorback bar. <br />2. Evaluate larval drift and entrainment into floodplains from other potential spawning sites. <br />3. Continue to evaluate the effectiveness of breach connections for entraining drift at various <br />points on thehydrograph. <br />4. Use data to refme the Floodplain Drift Model and for testing floodplain management <br />scenarios. <br />Goal <br />A reliable estimate of native fish response to an estimated level of nonnative predator removal. <br />Obiectives <br />1. Implement removal of northern pike from Island Park to the confluence ofthe White River <br />and smallmouth bass from Split Mountain to Sand Wash. This objective will be implemented <br />under the projects: Northern pike control in the middle Green River (Project 109) and <br />smallmouth bass control in the Green River (Project # 123). <br />2. Assess abundance of northern pike and smallmouth bass in the middle Green River to <br />determine removal effect. <br />3. Estimate response of small-bodied and early life-stage native fish to removal of northern <br />pike and smallmouth bass. <br />Goal <br />The goal of this project is to detect timing of reproduction by razorback sucker and Colorado <br />pikeminnow, and determine patterns of presence oflarvae and their relative abundance <br />downstream of potential spawning sites in the middle Green River system. A second goal is to <br />monitor temperature regimes of the Green and Yampa rivers in order to comply with Flaming <br />Gorge flow recommendations. <br /> <br />Status <br /> <br />Ongoing <br /> <br />Ongoing <br /> <br />Ongoing <br /> <br />FY <br /> <br />2004 - 2008 <br /> <br />2006 - 2007 <br />(synthesis <br />report) <br /> <br />1990 - TBD <br /> <br />c;") <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />""<: <br />~ <br /> <br />:> <br />I <br />+:0. <br /> <br />~ <br /><::3- <br />"'l <br />l:: <br />l:l <br />~ <br />.~ <br />~ <br /><:::> <br /><:::> <br />'-l <br />
