<br />553 <br /> <br />been collected from nursery habitat reaches during the two trips completed to evaluate stocking. <br />The same fish can be used for both research questions. Invertebrate work that has been <br />completed as part of the UDWR nursery habitat study has demonstrated that productivity tends to <br />be higher in the upper nursery habitat reaches than the ones down lower in the system. This is <br />especially true for the Grand Gulch reach; this reach is the lowest in productivity, however this is <br />the reach were most wild YOY Colorado squawfish have been captured. This work will <br />determine if stocked Colorado squawfish incur more lipids higher in the San Juan system and if <br />so, will this benefit these fish through overwinter survival. <br /> <br />Integration <br /> <br />We will be integrating all research UDWR has completed on the San Juan River. We will be <br />incorporating pertinent results from our Upper Basin projects into the integration as well. One <br />project in particular that we will be using results from is the Management Objectives project <br />which will be completed in May of 1997. The information gained from this project will be <br />pertinent for all Upper Basin research including the San Juan. Travel will entail attending all <br />subcommittee meetings. UDWR is the lead on the Early Life History for Native Fishes <br />subcommittee. <br /> <br />BUDGET* <br /> <br />Personnel <br />Travel <br />Equipment <br />Integration <br />TOTAL <br /> <br />$ 85,000 <br />$ 7,000 <br />$ 13,000 <br />$ 10.000 <br />$120,000 <br /> <br />* Included in the budget is a subcontract with USU for study and travel.
