Young-of-year/small-bodied monitoring (field) Personnel (32 staff days @ $275/day) Travel and per diem (@ $0.35/mi & $85/day)2 $8,800 $4,460 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I effort, secondary channel mouths without surface inflow from upstream will be treated as backwater/embayment habitat. The maximum number of backwaters or embayments sampled will be one per mile. Two seine hauls will be made in each backwater or embayment sampled. All specimens collected, except rare fishes, will be retained and returned to the laboratory for identification and enumeration. All rare fish will be measured and released; those >150 mm will be PIT tagged. Data colkction and recording of relevant information (including GPS determined location) will be the same as for secondary and primary channels. Ambient temperature and water quality data (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and salinity) will be mea~:ured in each sampled secondary channel, at primary channel sites, and in backwaterslembaymems. Secondary channel water quality data will be obtained a sufficient distance from the inflow to the secondary channel to minimize primary channel influences. All water quality data for each sample will be recorded on standard field forms. Products: Data collected during tho: 2005 monitoring effort will be summarized by geomorphic reaches. Minimally, the annual report will report density per species (number/m') per geomorphic reach (primary and secondary channels and backwaters) and rare fishes and the mesohabitats in which each was found. A comparison of off-shore enclosure versus shoreline mesohabitat sampling catch (species and catch..per-unit effort) and a preliminary evaluation of each method will be presented. Community~;omparison metrics. such as the Shannon-Wiener Index and Morisita's Index of Diversity, will be used for longitudinal and annual comparisons. River discharge data (Shiprock gage) will be used to assess the effect of discharge volume on species density estimates. All data obtained during 2005 monitoring activities will be electronically recorded in a format to be determined by the SJRIP Biology Committee. The annual report (including electronic database) will he submitted to the SJRIP Biology Committed by 31 March 2006, Literature Cited: Propst, D.L., S. P. Platallia, D.W. Ryden, and R.
