<br />outside the pen were much larger than the fish inside the pens (i.e., > I 00 mm). In addition to <br />survival of bony tail in the pens, large numbers of nonnative fishes reproduced and survived. <br />However, the large number of green sunfish, fathead minnow and black bullhead young-of-the- <br />year appeared to be the result of multiple spawns, whereas, versus the finite number of bony tail <br />that had been stocked. <br /> <br />This study included an evaluation of stocked razorback sucker larvae which is reported in <br />another annual report (C-6rz). <br /> <br />VII. Recommendations: <br /> <br />I. Initiate the original plan for this study by stocking bony tail in multiple wetlands to <br />determine which physical and biological features result in the greatest survival and <br />recruitment of bony tail. <br /> <br />2. Maintain water in the Stirrup to allow overwinter survival ofremaining bony tail and <br />allow surviving fish to access the Green River in the spring of2003. <br /> <br />VIII.
