The wild horses will be offered by silent bidding, at temporary BLM corrals located on State Route 45, about 12 miles south of Vernal, Utah. The Bonanza horses are in excellent condition, average in size, and display a variety of colors, including Appaloosa, buckskin, roan, dun, black, brown, and bay. Available to qualified adopters for a minimum bid of ed mid vaccinated and will have a current health certificate. All adoption applications submitted and approved on or after January 1, 1998, are considered current. If you are not already approved to adopt, submit an adoption application to the BLM. Adopters can also apply at the adoption site. Applicants will receive an approval for the number Starvation Reservoir may be named real well How do you keep a fishery from devouring itself?

"Our net studies have shown poor annual growth rates for walleye," Johnson said. "These fish are growing less than half of the growth rate expected. Also, only about 10 percent of the diet for Starvation Reservoir walleye is composed of fish compared to other reservoirs like Yuba, where fish can make up nearly 100 percent of the diet." Biologists are also concerned with what they are finding out about the Utah chub population, which should be the main prey base for the walleye. "When we were netting, we noticed most of our adult chubs are old, so we started investigating further," Johnson said. "We found almost all of the chubs are gone from the . reservoir by late August. We also found most of the population of mature fish is over 20 years old. young-of-the-ye- dich simon TRUCHinG ORIUER SCHOOL 00.717.SUS 800.72.

"Traditionally, fisheries biologists try one of two things, Johnson said. "They treat foe reservoir with rotenone and start over, or they try introducing new forage fish.

"In addition a great deal of coordination would have to occur with the downstream water users and local communities prior to project implementation." Some anglers have suggested stocking Utah chub to increase their numbers. Johnson explained that trying to stock Utah chub, or another fish found locally as a forage base, would require the Division to raise more than 20 tons of fish. It would take about 40 acres of culture ponds and cost more than $10 million for the construction of the ponds and $150,000 a year to operate.
