<br />studies (of channel morphology, substrate characteristics, bottomland Booding, and <br />sediment .transport) will span 1994-1996. In 1995, biological sampling was conducted <br />in the 12 strata both in fall and in spring. Analysis of spring and fal119'!l4 samples (fish <br />catch rates, invertebrate enumeration, chlorophyll counts, etc.) has been completed; fish <br />stomach collections from 1994 have also been analyzed. Work on spring 1995 samples <br />has begun. Work on geomorphic research consisted of collecting field data for <br />hydraulic modeling and sediment transport studies. <br /> <br />,t{ecommendations: No recommendations yet. <br /> <br />54 ASP-G: ASPINALL STUDIES SYNTHESIS <br /> <br />Fifteen related studies are being conducted to provide data to be used in the Biological <br />Opinion on the operation of the Aspinall Unit. In addition, many other studies have <br />been, or are being conducted in various parts of the Upper Colorado River Basin that <br />will be useful to the Biological Opinion Process. It is critical that participants begin the <br />consolidation process for these diverse, but related studies. This scope of work began <br />the process of consolidating the information currently being collected throughout the <br />Gunnison and Colorado rivers that is directed toward the Aspinall Biological Opinion. <br /> <br />Recommendations: Continue as planned. <br /> <br />49 SQUAWFISH & RAZORBACK GREEN RIVER HABITAT USE <br /> <br />The goal of this study was to analyze the data and prepare a written report on the <br />relationship between habitat availability, fish accessibility, and fish-use in seasonally- <br />,flooded bottoms in the middle Green River for use in developing instream flow <br />recommendations (Flaming Gorge Biological Opinion). This study summarizes data <br />collected from various experiments between 1991 and 1994, <br /> <br />Recommendations: None <br /> <br />51 INSTREAM FLOW METHODS PEER REVIEW <br /> <br />Purpose of the Proiect - To conduct a comprehensive review of current <br />ge.cinioi:phology studies, the Colorado Rivef (Aspinall Studies) food web project, and <br />related studies to provide fecommendations on study methods and the relationship of <br />these stueies to establishing streamflow fecommendations to benefit recovery of the <br />endangered fishes in the Upper Colorado Rivef Basin. <br /> <br />Progress during F.Y 1995 - A roundtable discussion was held on the "Relationship of <br />Streamflow, Geomorphology, and Food Web in the Recovery of the Endangered Fishes <br />in the Upper Colorado River Basin" on February 6-7, 1995 in Grand Junction, <br />Colorado. <br /> <br />A-13 <br />
