Contents <br />There were no survivors for trial 3. <br />For trial 4, two white suckers were found alive immediately after sleeve valve passage, one in the <br />entrainment nets and one in the spillway. One died at 24 hrs (47 mm) and one survived beyond <br />96 hrs (47 mm) after sleeve valve passage. <br />For trial 5, one white sucker (51 mm) was found alive in the spillway and survived beyond 96 <br />hrs after sleeve valve passage. <br />There were no survivors for trial 6. <br />For trial 7, one white sucker (54 mm) was found alive in,'#he entrainment nets and survived <br />beyond 96 hrs after sleeve valve passage. <br />For the 7 replicates performed at the reservoir elevation of 6795 ft, 680 live 0 -plus white suckers <br />(60 mm mean TL) were injected into the discharge pipe. Six white suckers were alive <br />immediately after sleeve valve passage (0.882 percent) ranging between 0 and f sh per trial <br />(figure 22). Five survived beyond 96 hrs (0.735 percent) aid ranged between 0 and 1 fish per <br />trial (figure 23). <br />Figures 23. Mortality and survival at 96 his after sleeve valve passage for 0 -plus white suckers <br />for each'reblicate at 6705A reservoir elevation. <br />White Sucker (110 mm mean TL) <br />A total of six trials were performed using 100 1 -plus white suckers (mean TL 110 mm, mean <br />width 13.7 mm) per trial except for trial 1 where 75 fish were used, no fish escaped the injection <br />process. Total length measurements of the 1 -plus white suckers ranged from 85 to 127 mm. The <br />trials were performed concurrently with the smaller 0 -plus white suckers. Each replicate was <br />injected into the discharge pipe upstream of the sleeve valve to test the effectiveness to eliminate <br />1 -plus white sucker survival at a pressure of approximately 36 psi. <br />Page 32 <br />
