species representing at least 1 % of the fish collected are 44% chub, 36% speckled dace, 4% bluehead sucker, 3% flannel mouth sucker, 3% sand shiner, 3% red shiner, 2% fathead minnow, 2% Colorado squawfish, 2% carp, and I % white sucker. As in 1994 and 1995, Colorado squawfish successfully spawned in both the Gunnison River and in the Colorado River below the confluence with the Gunnison River. Seven specimens were taken in the Gunnison River in 1996, four above the Redlands Dam and three below. One larva was taken at river mile 29.3, the "Bridgeport" station (GU-B), three at river mile 5.2, the "R. Schroder" station (GU-S), and three (including one tentatively identified specimen--CS?) at river mile 2.6, the "Above Confluence" station (GU-A). By comparison, six Colorado squawfish were identified in 1995 drift net collections in the Gunnison River and just one in 1994. Like 1994 and 1995, most 1996 Colorado squawfish larvae (87%) were collected at Colorado River stations below the confluence with the Gunnison River: 10 specimens at river mile 167.8 (Red lands station) and 35 at river mile 153.7 (Loma station). However, Colorado squawfish captures at these stations in 1996 (45) were notably lower than in 1994 (96) and much lower than in 1995 (257). Colorado squawfish larvae (including tentatively identified specimens) measured 7 to 11 mm TL and were taken from 19 June through 14 August, but mostly (87%) after 15 July. The first specimens were captured over two weeks earlier than in 1994 and nearly seven weeks earlier than in 1995. (b) Larval-Fish Drift-Net Collections, Colorado River, Westwater and Moab, Utah, 14 June through 17 August 1994 (processing, cataloging, and report completed from FY 96). This set consists ofJ71 larval-fish drift-net collections received by the Larval Fish Laboratory. Of these, 186 were taken at the Westwater station (River Mile 127.5), and 185 at the Moab station (RMI 65.8). Fish were present in 89% of the collections received (332 of371). All specimens received have been cataloged (LFL 34561- 35459) and stored as part of Larval Fish Laboratory holdings for voucher and future study, possibly including detailed analysis of chubs (Gila sp.) and early non-native cyprinid larvae for species identification. questionable Colorado squawfish larvae for DNA verification, and Colorado squawfish otoliths for age determination. ) Overall, the collections contain 5,657 fish (an average of 15 specimens per collection) representing 14 species. Minnows (7 species) account for 94% and suckers (2 species) 5% of all fish collected in 1994. Non-cypriniform fish, just 1 % of all fish collected, are channel catfish, black bullhead, mosquitofish, green sunfish, and largemouth bass; channel catfish were taken from both stations and the others only from Westwater. Native species (3 minnows and 2 suckers) account for 18% of all fish, 13% of the minnows, and 100% of the suckers. Colorado squawfish (54 specimens of which 12 are tentative identifications-CS?) account for 1 % of all fish and are present in 12% of the collections (45 ofJ 71). 11
