RECOVERY AND CONSERVATION OF COLORADO SQUAWFISH IN <br />THE SAN JUAN RIVER BASIN AS PART OF THE NATIVE FISH <br />COMMUNITY. <br /> <br />3.2.1. REPRODUCTION <br /> <br />Spawning of sufficient frequency and magnitude must occur to <br />produce adequate numbers of offspring for recruitment to the <br />adult population. Conditions must be provided for annual <br />reproduction. Reproduction will be documented by capture of <br />young-of-year specimens. <br /> <br />3.2.2. RECRUITMENT <br /> <br />Regular recruitment of individuals to the reproductively active <br />population is required for recovery and conservation. <br /> <br />3.2.3. RANGE AND ABUNDANCE <br /> <br />Range and abundance must be increased above current levels <br />to secure occupation of designated critical habitat and other <br />suitable areas. <br /> <br />3.2.4. RESTORE POPULATIONS <br /> <br />Improve habitat conditions to allow existing populations to <br />respond to these habitat changes. If studies indicate remnant <br />populations are too small or isolated to respond to habitat <br />modifications then explore additional management options, <br />including augmentation, to expand current wild populations. <br /> <br />3.3. RECOVERY AND CONSERVATION OF RAZORBACK SUCKER IN THE <br />SAN JUAN RIVER AS A VIABLE PART OF THE NATIVE FISH <br />COMMUNITY. <br /> <br />3.3.1. AVOID EXTIRPATION <br /> <br />Preclude further adverse modification of razorback sucker <br />habitats and establish refugia. <br /> <br />3.3.2. RESTORE POPULATIONS <br /> <br />If studies indicate augmentation is feasible, stock razorback <br />suckers of appropriate lineage to establish a viable population in <br />San Juan River. <br /> <br />6 <br />
