<br />or "obvious" razorback suckers were identified, One hundred and nine <br />(109) specimens were identified as longnose sucker and more probably are <br />represented, along with many probable hybrids, in the category of <br />unidentified suckers, There is a very slim chance that some of the fish <br />identified as flannelmouth sucker or categorized as unidentified suckers <br />might actually be razorback sucker, but such is not morphologically <br />obvious. Non-cypriniform fish (less than 1% of the total catch) are <br />plains killifish and green sunfish. <br /> <br />Gunnison River, USFWS, Larval Collections, Summer 1992 (under FY 93 <br />funds): <br /> <br />All data summarized and submitted. A total of 35 larval-fish collections <br />for Gunnison River Miles 59.9 to 5.4 were preserved during 3 to 7 August <br />1992. The collections contain 6,248 preserved fish (an average of 179 <br />specimens per collection) representing 13 species. Cyprinids account for <br />93%, catostomids 7%, and the four remaining families just 0.4% of all <br />fish preserved. Only 15% of all fish (9% cyprinids, 6% catostomids) are <br />native species. Percentage composition for the more abundant species is <br />67% for fathead minnow, 8 to 6% each for sand shiner, red shiner, Gila <br />chubs, and bluehead sucker. Chubs are probably all roundtail chub; <br />individual measures to the nearest millimeter and fin ray counts were not <br />recorded. No Colorado squawfi sh or .obvious. razorback suckers were <br />identified. Non-cypriniform fish are represented by 18 plains killifish, <br />4 green sunfish, 2 mosquitofish, and 1 black bullhead. <br /> <br />Colorado River, CDOW, Drift-Net Collections, Summer 1994: <br /> <br />A total of 300 samples was received for processing; 180 samples covered <br />under FY 94 funds, 120 samples covered under FY 95 funds. Sample <br />processing is in early stages, anticipated completion by end of January <br />1995. <br /> <br />VII. Recommendations: None. <br /> <br />VIII.
