" This year we would like people to take a pledge to attend and to bring a buddy. What better . gift to give a friend or family , member?" Biologists conduct chub study The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in conjunction with National Park Service biologists . collected 400 native fish of the Gila genus from the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument . in northwestern Colorado. The fish, less than 4 inches in length, are considered young roundtail chubs (Gila robusta), . but given their small size some may be endangered humpback chubs (G. cypha). : The purpose of the research study documenting the fishes survival during collection and : transport from the river to : hatcheries. It will also likely de-terminewhetherthesefishcanbe de-terminewhetherthesefishcanbe : raised in hatcheries. The Upper : Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program will conduct a one year study as part of ef-: forts to recover the endangered -humpback chub. One of six known humpback . chub populations is found in : the Yampa and Green rivers in -Dinosaur National Monument. : Biologists recently reported that : this historically small population ; may have declined, possibly due' to prolonged dry weather and-river and-river flow conditions and associated as-sociated increases in nonnative l fish. The Recovery Program study r is one of first steps to determine future actions to manage thgis ; humpback chub population. The ;; State of Colorado's J. W. Mumma ; Native Aquatic Restoration Fa- "; cility in Alamosa and the FWS : Ouray National Fish Hatchery ; in Ouray, Utah each received 200 J of the collected fish. " "We give a lot of credit to our : program partners who pulled ; out all the stops to collect these 3 fish in a short period of time -when the river flows were just " right," said Recovery Program ; Propagation Coordinator Tom-Czapla. Tom-Czapla. "We had staff from the:: Colorado Division of Wildlife, : National Park Service, and the " US Fish and Wildlife Service. working side-by-side to make this happen. We also appreciate the cooperation of the Jim Carollo, the owner of Mantle Ranch and his caretaker Jim Seewald, who granted us access. Tom also helped to collect the fish. ; The ease of capture of this large quantity of fish indicates that they are prevalent in this particular section of the Yampa, River within the monument. It : will be about a year, however, before biologists are able to dis-: tinguish between the two Gila ; species to confirm which they represent. At that time, the roundtail chubs will be returned .: to their original capture loca-f tions. The Recovery Program ' will evaluate the success of this ' study and determine whether to continue to hold humpback.: chubs in hatcheries or return" them to their original capture locations. As standard practice, the; state of Colorado and the FWS take every precaution to ensure ., no fish diseases or parasites are ; transferred between the rivers : and the hatcheries.
