<br />Study #11 SYnthesi s of winter movement and habitat of adult Colorado <br />sauawfish and razorback sucker in the Green River below Flaming Gorae Dam. <br /> <br />Description of work <br />This study will be conducted by BIO/WEST Inc. under the direction of <br />UDWR. The primary purpose of this study is to integrate existing <br />studies on wintertime movements and habitat of Colorado squawfish <br />and razorback sucker on the Green and Yampa Rivers. Previous <br />studies on wintertime movements and habitat of Colorado squawfish <br />have been conducted on the Green River (Valdez and Masslich 1989), <br />and the Yampa River (Wick and Hawkins 1989). The above studies were <br />originally planned utilizing the unregulated Yampa River as a <br />control to compare to the regulated/fluctuating Green River. <br />However, no synthesis of the two studies has been completed. This <br />study would integrate the findings of the two studies and the <br />available literature to determine if the winter flow requirements of <br />adult Colorado squawfish are being satisfied. <br /> <br />Methods <br />An integrated repo'rt will be developed on winter movement and <br />habitat of adult Colorado squawfish and razorback sucker in the <br />Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. Data contained in Valdez and <br />Masslich (1989) and Wick and Hawkins (1989) will be reevaluated and, <br />if necessary, synthesized into an integrated report. <br /> <br />Rationale <br />This study will determine, to the extent possible, winter flow <br />requirements for adult Colorado squawfish and razorback suckers in <br />the Green River below FGD. Informational needs for recommending <br />winter flows for adult Colorado squawfish and razorback suckers will <br />also be identified if needed. <br /> <br />'Del iverables <br />BIO/WEST Inc. will submit a final report by December 31, 1992. <br /> <br />1993 BudC/et <br />Study to be independently funded by National Park Service <br /> <br />4.3 Habitat-ManageDIntJEvaluation StUdies <br /> <br />Studv #12 Wetlands restoration/demonstration project at Old Charley Wash.
