<br />COLORADO RIVER RECOVERY PROGRAM <br />FY 94 ANNUAL PROJECT REPORT <br /> <br />RECOVERY PROGRAM <br />PROJECT NUMBER: 16 <br /> <br />I, Project Title: Database Management Program <br /> <br />II. Principal Investigator(s): <br /> <br />Frank K. Pfeifer, Project Leader <br />Charles W. HcAda, Fishery Biologist <br />764 Horizon Drive, South Annex A <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81506 <br />(303) 245-9319: Fax 245-6933 <br />Internet: R6FFA GRJ@FWS.GOV <br /> <br />III. Project Summary: <br /> <br />Development of a centralized database was an initial requirement of the <br />Recovery Program. The Service's Grand Junction Office was instrumental <br />in developing the database and has managed it since 1986. Participants <br />are reqUired to submit their data in Dbase files. File structure is <br />flexible, but participants are requested to use established field names <br />when appropriate. The Database Manager catalogs the files as they are <br />submitted and prepares basic documentation. Lists of endangered fishes <br />tagged with PIT tags are submitted and consolidated annually. All <br />remaining data collected as part of studies funded by the Recovery <br />Program are required to be submitted to the Database when the final <br />report is submitted, With the exception of tagging lists and ISMP <br />data, relatively few other types of data files were received in FY 94, <br />Reminders will be sent out in January requesting data from <br />investigators who completed studies in 1994, <br /> <br />IV, Study Schedule: Scheduled to continue for the length of the Recovery <br />Program, <br /> <br />V, Relationship to RIPRAP: General Recovery Program Support Action Plan, <br />V.A.2, Conduct interagency data management program to compile, manage, <br />and maintain, all research and monitoring data collected by the <br />Recovery Program. <br /> <br />VI. Accomplishment of FY 94 Tasks and Deliverables, Discussion of Initial <br />Findings and Shortcomings: <br /> <br />Current PIT tag lists (through 1993) were obtained from all researchers <br />and a combined list was sent to all researchers contributing tagging <br />data. The pit tag numbers were checked before being added to the <br />combined list, A few minor inconsistencies were found and clarified by <br />the original researchers. Other inconsistencies were corrected when <br />noticed, However, it is impossible to verify all information submitted <br />by the original researchers. <br /> <br />1994 tagging data has been coming in, but all investigators have not <br />yet submitted their data (it is not due until after the first of the <br />year). The data will be checked for inconsistencies when all data sets <br />are in, consolidated into a combined database and distributed to all <br />researchers who contributed data. <br />
