ALP 3

Reservoir Elevation 6795 ft
Three sets of 0 -plus (60 mm mean TL) and 1 -plus (110 mm mean TL) white suckers were
handled and introduced into a simulated insertion port and receiving pipe using the same
methods as the fish used to test the sleeve valve to discern the extent of incidental handling
mortality. The fish were measured, netted, and handled as test fish were and were held in the
same containers and in the same water quality conditions. There was no incidental handling
mortalities at 0 hrs for either group of white suckers. At 96 hrs after handling and holding, a
total of 21 0 -plus white suckers died for a mean survival rate gf,93 percent however and no 1-
plus white suckers died after 96 hrs (table 3).

f the 0 -plus white suckers ranged from 45 to 85 mm. Trial 7 had a
;mlpder of the 0 -plus white sucker supply. Each replicate was
Peypstream of the sleeve valve to test the effectiveness to eliminate
at: a pressure of approximately 36 psi. The sleeve valve and
y opened and closed for each trial.
For trial 1, one 53 mm white sucker was found alive in the spillway and survived beyond 96 hrs
after sleeve valve passage.
For trial 2, one 62 mm white sucker was found alive in the spillway and survived beyond 96 hrs
after sleeve valve passage.
