Lake Powell project leader Wayne Gustaveson explains that this forage species is new to Lake Powell and the main-iteColorado River drainage. The shad that were collected averaged four inches in length. It is suspected that they were naturally reproduced within the lake. According to Gustaveson, the ramifications of a new species offish range frgm good to bad. Gizzard shad grow quickly and attain a muqh larger size than threadfin shad which, to this point, were the only shad in Lake Powell. The rapid growth means that largemouth and smaUmouth bass are able to eat shad for only a short time each spring, hen shad and young bass may actually compete for the same limited planktonic food. ' Striped bass are the domi- nant predator in Lake Powell and have for decades deci- piated threadfin shad from the open water. m - at Lake Powell spread and fully established. The unknown element is how fast gizzard shad will colonize Lake Powell and where they will reside. Gizzard shad prefer water and have been shown to lose die competitive battle with threadfin for food in open, clear water. mud-stain- ed Gizzard shad are more on aladept at bottom-feedin-g gae while threadfin are better adapted to feeding on frde- swimming zooplankton. It may be that both shad species will be limited to productive inflow areas that now exclusively harbor threadfin. Or gizzard shad may populate the open water and proliferate there because of their larger body size and greater ability to producciff-sprinI i g. Gustaveson explains that foe outcome is unknown and will be the subject of dose scientific schitiny by DWR during the new species colonization period. The outcome will likely' be determined by striped bass as they feed on both gizzard and threadfin shad.

Poisoning fish without lowering the lake would block intakes with dead fish and effectively shut down the power plant, as well Gustaveson explains that one single adult gizzard shad was collected from Lake Powell in 2000 near the San Juan inflow.This fish was suspected to be a downstream from Morgan Lake. No gizzard shad were found in Lake Powell during 2001. Now it appears that enough adult gizzard shad have taken up residence in Lake Powell to of young produce a year-clain the huge reservoir.
