Notice to be published on the <br />final Environmental Assessment in key newspapers in Colorado, Utah and <br />Wyoming. <br />Dec. 29,1995. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Action to be taken on the procedures by the Colorado Wildlife Commission. <br />(Similar actions may be taken in Utah and Wyoming as appropriate.) <br />Jan. 11 - 12, 1996. <br /> <br />Questions? <br /> <br />Please call Dick Wydoski at (303) 236-2985, ext. 228. <br /> <br />Non-native fish control on the Gunnison River <br /> <br />This involves a three-year effort to evaluate the effectiveness of removing non-native fish such as <br />northern pike, largemouth bass and green sunfish from the Gunnison River. To locate these sport <br />fish, biologists ....ill use a fish species inventory of the Gunnison that showed the times of year <br />when these fish are concentrated in certain areas. Biologists will capture the fish using trammel <br />nets, trap-nets and "electro-fishing" - a technique that involves running an electrical current <br />through the water to temporarily stun the fish and bring them to the surface. The non-native fish <br />will be removed from the river alive then transported to other waters for sport-fishing purposes. <br />This spring, six northern pike were captured and transported to Harvey Gap Reservoir. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Additional field studies to be conducted on experimental removal of non-native <br />sport fish that prey on endangered fish. Non-native fish removed from <br />Gunnison River to be stocked in Harvey Gap Reservoir. <br />September to October 1995. <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Evaluation report to be completed on experimental removal of non-native sport <br />fish. <br />Sept. 30, 1997. <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Questions? <br /> <br />Please call Dick Wydoski at (303) 236-2985, ex!. 228. <br /> <br />12 <br />
