<br />sacrifice fish to extract otoliths is an obvious draw-
<br />back of this method, especially when working with
<br />a species of special concern like roundtail chub.

<br />Acknowledgments
<br />
<br />I would like to thank lody Walters for his valu-
<br />able input into study design, Mike Childs for
<br />spawning and rearing fish, and Diana Rogers and
<br />Lorraine A venetti for their valuable field and lab-
<br />oratory assistance. I would also like to thank Scott
<br />Bonar, Scott Bryan, Bill Persons, and three anon-
<br />ymous reviewers for providing suggestions that
<br />improved the manuscript. Funding was provided
<br />by the Sportfish Restoration fund administered
<br />through the Arizona Game and Fish Department
<br />(Project F-4-R). Reference to trade names does not
