Study Goals, Objectives, and End Product: <br /> <br />Goal - Data from this study will be used as part of an annual assessment of reproduction and <br />recruitment of Colorado squawfish (and other fishes) so that various hypotheses regarding the affects <br />of operation of Flaming Gorge Dam and the Aspinall units can be evaluated. Infonnation will <br />facilitate assessment of relationships between relative reproductive success and annual flow regimes <br />(specifically flow releases from Flaming Gorge Dam) and provide a relative measure ofinput offish <br />larvae into downstream nursery habitats. <br /> <br />Objectives -- <br /> <br />1.) To document timing and duration of spawning by Colorado squawfish (and other fishes) as <br />measured by capture of drifting larvae. <br /> <br />2.) To determine peaks in abundance of transported Colorado squawfish larvae during the <br /> <br />2 <br />
