RMD/0104: Population Estimates of Colorado Pikeminnow in the Lower Green River <br />(LFL, $168,500) <br /> <br />The goal of this 3-year effort is to obtain a reasonable estimate of adult population <br />abundance and survival of Colorado pikeminnow occupying the lower Green River study <br />area. Total out year cost: $226,900. <br /> <br />22k. RMD/OI04: Population Estimate of Humpback Chub in Desolation/Gray Canyon, Green <br />River, Utah (UDWR, $99,000) <br /> <br />This is a 3-year population estimate of late juvenile/adult humpback chub in Desolation <br />and Gray Canyons on the Green River. The study also will determine if a relationship <br />exists between ISMP catch rates and population size. Total out year cost: $116,000. <br /> <br />221. RMD/0204: Population Estimate of Humpback Chub in Cataract Canyon <br /> <br />A 3-year population eslimate of humpback chub in Cataract Canyon on the Colorado <br />River. The study also will determine if a relationship exists between ISMP catch rates <br />and population size. Any presumed wild bonytail captured in the course of this work will <br />be transferred to a hatchery. Total out year cost: $188,000. <br /> <br />50. RMD/9402: Experimental Stocking Plan to Evaluate Survival of Various Sizes of <br />Razorback Sucker (FWS, $13,000) <br /> <br />The goals of this study are to evaluate the relationship between survival of razorback <br />sucker and size ofrelease into the river, and to reintroduce razorback sucker in the <br />Gunnison River to result in 10 adult fish per river mile in suitable riverine habilat. A <br />final report on this effort will be prepared in FY 02. Total out year cost: $0. <br /> <br />II I. Monitoring Stocked Fish - PLACEHOLDER (scope of work to be developed for <br />implementation in FY 02) <br /> <br />121. RMD/0205: Verification of Stocked Razorback Sucker Reproduction in the Gunnison <br />River via Annual Larvae Collections (FWS, $4 I ,900) <br /> <br />This study will determine if hatchery-reared razorback suckers stocked in the Gunnison <br />River are successfully spawning in the river. Larval samples will be collected with light <br />traps at up to three locations in the Gunnison River each year during and immediately <br />after the suspected spawning season. Dip-net seine sampling also will be conducted. <br />Samples will be preserved and sent to the Larval Fish Laboratory for processing and <br />identification, Total outyear cost: $100,000. <br /> <br />C-14 <br />
